All Directions (2021) Digital Arts by Benoit Beal (3enoit 3eal)

Since childhood, Benoit Beal draws everything that inspires him, invents and experiments with the objects that surround him.

We have been able to see him designing all kinds of projectile launchers, a mini telescope, an articulated hand, but also, he devotes himself to models and electronic assembly, he is involved in basic programs on the first generation of family computer and constantly disassembles everything out of curiosity. His many influences become his own hobby and attach themselves to it by conviction, attracted by what is relevant and constantly inclined towards modernism.

From a technical course for 14 years, he is moving towards technical, electrical and mechanical versatility. Subsequently, his many professional trips opened up other horizons for him and naturally turned to photography, as an opportunity for the beautiful things that were available to him.

He has a particular taste for aesthetics in general and has a certain interest in common sense, especially in areas that affect him such as the man-machine relationship, consumer-commerce influences…. He discovers a talent for sculpture, during his first "hidden" realization of the clay portrait of his wife.

The click, which leads him to design, is the natural association between drawing and technicality acquired since childhood. Self-taught and conscientious, with perfectionism as a default, he was able to concretize the new restaurant concept "Bol'appétit", where everything had to be created.

Let us note a few examples: the logo in its graphic and design part, the cast iron grill 85cm in diameter, the service furniture, the ground plan, the commercial storefront, the designer furniture (the dragon shelf, the sneeze guard, etc. ). Hungry for knowledge, he is taken by this vicious and endless mechanism.
