Exhibition by Manuel Gomez "Courtyard Panopticon" Automatic translate

Manuel Gomez’s own artistic style is determined by his character and attitude towards life: grace and grace, frankness and sensuality, an easy share of irony. The heroes of the paintings are fabulous ladies, jesters and musicians, as if they were born in fantastic dreams. Ignoring the audience, they continue to live in their magical, bizarre world.

The new exhibition is inspired by the images of the royal court in a modern design: His Majesty, favorites, princesses, court jesters. The heroes of the paintings personify the dreams and dreams of people: the artist uses light colors and soft fuzzy lines, but portrays them full of passions and emotions, surrounded by gloomy inscriptions. The contrast in the paintings makes an incredible impression: a light, airy center and a gloomy background in the style of graffiti, smudges and blots. As a mirror image, the paintings reveal to us easily recognizable features of their own fantasies and fears. The works presented at the exhibition are the embodiment of craftsmanship, the French artist’s own style and modern trends in a lively, relevant form.

Manuel Gomez was born in Paris in 1969 and has Portuguese roots. Having received an academic degree at the Corvisart School of Graphic Arts, Manuel Gomez made his debut as a graphic designer and achieved considerable success.
