About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Marker

Drawing made using a large felt with its own ink source. The ink may or may not be indelible.

Ink

A strongly tinted liquid or paste that is used to mark paper or other printable materials. The design is done manually with a slab, feather, brush, or straightener.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Claude Duvauchelle

France

Claude Duvauchelle is a contemporary French artist whose work has been centered on the human body for the past two decades. This constant fascination serves as a rich source of inspiration, enabling him to express the deep emotions, anxieties, and hopes of modern humanity. Through his art, Duvauchelle explores the alienation and struggles brought on by the violence of modern civilization, portraying humanity as regressing to a primal state, enslaved by its most destructive instincts.

Duvauchelle’s creative process is marked by a continuous evolution of techniques and themes, which allows him to avoid repetition and keep his work fresh. His early influences include the Quattrocento painters, particularly Mantegna’s "Dead Christ," where he was drawn to the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, martyrdom, and crucifixions. Géricault’s romanticism and the tragic body also left a significant imprint on his artistic journey, adding layers of sublimation to his tragic depictions.

In his recent works, Duvauchelle translates these classical inspirations into a modern context. He aims to illustrate the downfall of today’s world, capturing the alienation and evil rooted in both societal and individual violence. His allegorical representations speak to the universal human condition, reflecting the programmed decay of contemporary civilization.
