Artwork location: France

This striking artwork reveals a breathtaking hyperrealistic portrait. At first glance, the piercing gaze of the illustrated eye immediately captures attention. The shades of green and blue in the eye are meticulously detailed, emphasizing a remarkable emotional depth. The subtle play of light and shadow on the face creates a dramatic contrast that adds to the intensity of the image. The hands, which partially cover the face, are executed with impressive precision. The textures of the skin, the lines of the fingers, and even the smallest details of the veins and wrinkles are rendered with astonishing accuracy. This realistic depiction of the hands suggests an emotion of surprise or reflection, leaving room for the viewer's interpretation. The artist perfectly masters the technique of drawing to provoke an immersive visual response. The composition, focused on a part of the face, invites the viewer to explore universal human emotions. This work is distinguished by its ability to capture not only the physical appearance, but also the emotional essence of its subject. In short, this piece exemplifies contemporary art through its ability to merge technique and emotion, making the viewer witness to an intimate and powerful moment.

Dominique Fonteneau, 2A24 - Portrait axé sur le regard
France  • 1956

Presentation

Dominique Fonteneau is a painter whose work is a perpetual and addictive quest for the inaccessible star: the original feeling.

Through his works, he invites the viewer to a deep and introspective exploration of intersubjectivity, a key concept in his art.

Fonteneau describes his creative process as a relentless search for something fundamental and primordial, which he calls the "original feeling." This mysterious and enigmatic concept represents an unattainable star, a goal eternally out of reach but always present in his artistic aspirations. This quest symbolizes a pursuit of emotional purity and inner truth.

For Fonteneau, the gaze is a crucial moment, where the experience of our intersubjectivity becomes tangible. In his paintings, the gaze is not simply a visual act but a profound interaction between the artist and the viewer. It is through this gaze that we perceive and share emotions, experiences and subjective realities. This intersubjective dimension creates an intimate connection between the work and the observer, making each interaction unique and personal.

Dominique Fonteneau's art is distinguished by a refined technique and unique style, where colors, shapes and textures come together to create visually captivating and emotionally powerful compositions. His bold use of color and contrasts brings his works to life, making them dynamic and vibrant.
