About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

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.

Marker

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

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Stencil

The stencil is a technique that allows you to reproduce a pattern using a pre-cut plate that is superimposed on the support.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Aya So, a contemporary French artist, draws inspiration from a myriad of artistic influences including street art, raw art, and free figuration. Her journey into the realm of painting was sparked by a profound encounter with the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose artistic legacy left an indelible mark on her creative path. A dedicated self-taught artist, So has experimented with various disciplines and genres, drawing upon the visual vocabulary of artists from the Figuration Libre movement, Art Brut, street art, and beyond. However, it was Basquiat's oeuvre that truly ignited her passion for painting.

Constantly exploring new avenues of artistic expression, So finds her true voice in the act of creation itself, reveling in the tactile experience of manipulating different materials to weave narratives and evoke emotions. Through her art, she seeks to capture fragments of life, brushing the essence of humanity onto her canvases. Each work reflects her unique perspective, shaped by encounters with fleeting entities and moments frozen in her memory, colored by her unconventional view of the world.

Despite the deeply personal nature of her art, So hesitates to fully unveil the emotions and perceptions that lie beneath the surface. Instead of articulating her innermost thoughts with words, she opts to convey them through the language of color, allowing her paintings to speak volumes in their vibrant and dynamic compositions.
