Description
This work is part of the "Latent Traces" series.
I am currently working on reactivating the works that my grandfather bequeathed to me at the end of his life.
Reinterpreted by an AI to whom I told my story, as well as that of my ancestor, I try to establish a dialogue between the works of the past, the futuristic projections of future works made by deep learning and the traditional techniques that I use today.
A triple vision, formally brought together in the same finite space, the frame, which here takes on a symbolic dimension.
How do we define a collaboratively created work and a code?
I choose from my grandfather's works, based solely on my feelings, the one that will feed the AI.
I only request one image generation and I take the first result provided.
The work I'm developing falls somewhere between the two, and many details are missing from the original. I have to extrapolate and imagine the source by constantly going back and forth between the two versions I have.
The materials will also vary as I plan to use the equipment and blank sheets of paper that were passed down to me by my grandfather.
This work is distinguished by the ingenious assemblage of three pieces centered on a single subject: a chair. On the left, a vibrant painting presents the wooden chair against a warm-toned background, enhanced by what appear to be fruits placed on its seat, adding a touch of bright and unexpected color. On the right, a pencil drawing captures light and shadow, revealing the object's detailed structure and simple elegance. Below, a small photograph offers a realistic perspective, grounding the series in the physicality of everyday life. The L-shaped arrangement of the frame seamlessly connects the pieces, creating a dynamic visual dialogue. This work explores the diversity of techniques and perspectives, transforming an ordinary object into a captivating study of form and texture.
This captivating work presents an elegantly framed tripartite composition. At its center, an authentic botanical illustration depicts a plant with clean lines and vibrant shades of green, accompanied by precise Latin text that evokes an 18th-century scientific exploration. To the right, a black-and-white sketch captures the essence of the sinuous roots, adding a striking graphic dimension. In the upper right, a modern photograph of a natural environment enriches the visual narrative by linking the past to the present. The ingeniously designed, asymmetrical frame guides the eye through the different representations of the plant, each section illuminating a distinct aspect of its beauty and complexity. This harmonious juxtaposition of techniques and eras offers a reflection on nature and science, underscoring the universality and enduring nature of botanical study.
Presentation
A bestiary of today Sacred zoo, that of Guillaume Piot who transforms politicians, faceless but recognizable, into kings of a jungle that could well represent the French! A sharp-looking draftsman, Guillaume Piot did not choose zoomorphy to portray these animals that are politicians: don't we compare them to elephants when they advance in a monolithic herd, to old foxes when cunning competes with cynicism or even with monkeys when they make fun of the world? And finally, aren't we the spectators of a sort of cattle fair when it comes to choosing the one with the best teeth to bite into France or the most beautiful panache to seduce her? A past master in animal iconography, Guillaume Piot revisits the bestiaries of yesteryear in his own way. His pencil is delicate but often biting like those pitbulls and gorillas who crowd around Marine Le Pen. And what about these vultures who frame François Fillon while the geese sound the alarm against the attackers? Surrounded by a composite courtyard, bears, giraffes, camels, Emmanuel Macron clenches his fists while Jean-Luc Mélenchon reenacts freedom guiding the people in the midst of goats and sheep. Arnaud Montebourg, him, tries to compete with a peacock making the wheel ... as for François Hollande, alone in his palace, he tries to make himself a rhinoceros leather ... and all the others are to be discovered, smile on the lips, thought in mind. These politicians have no face, but they have a name thanks to these "nice animals" who surround them to offer them a little of their mind. Guillaume Piot hides a fierce humor under refined features, which is the strength and originality of his drawing. We will no longer see politics in the same way. - Florence Muracciole, Journalist
