About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

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.

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.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

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.

Christophe Gol

France

Christophe Gol is a French artist whose work revolves around drawing and painting, exploring the boundaries between these two mediums. He is known for his unique way of telling stories through his paintings,[...]

His graphic style, while deceptively naive, is skillfully crafted to communicate complex narratives. Some of his works feature a form of shaded cubism, with elements that fit together harmoniously. For Christophe Gol, a drawing or a painting is much more than a simple visual representation, it is a language that can say everything and its opposite. It is a fleeting vision, a representation of a dream, an awareness of the world or even a supposition.

Christophe Gol has always been curious and passionate about drawing, developing over time his own technique and a recognizable personal touch. His work is fantastic and meticulous, where time becomes ridiculous and reality finds its strength in symbolic forms.

The artist has been awarded numerous times and has consolidated his reputation thanks to his unbridled creativity. His works offer kaleidoscopic visions, environments rich in detail, and address varied subjects, from current events to history.

His artistic career is punctuated by exhibitions and distinctions, from Marseille to Barcelona, via Draguignan and Cannes. His work has been recognized by galleries, visual arts fairs and prestigious competitions. He continues to fascinate his audience with his unique vision of visual art, always in search of new forms of expression.
