Christoff Baron

The work of Christoff Baron is inscribed on pallet boards or scaffolding planks, partially sanded, then painted. The support reveals the random and anonymous traces of workers, on which the painter's gesture, mastered and signed, is overprinted.

It is in this game of contrasts that the artist's approach takes on meaning: he pays tribute to the humble professions that are nevertheless necessary for the development of modern civilizations. The pallets, insignificant supports of all the objects, or the planks, elements of the scaffolding which serves to build the supreme good, the house, are the

invisible waste of consumerism. By giving them the status of a work of art, the artist invites the viewer to change their perspective on the work of those who manipulate them and give them a rich patina.
