Manuel Dampeyroux

Montpellier, France
Artist (Painting, Drawing)
Born 1991

Manuel Dampeyroux is a contemporary award-winning French artist. His work might be understood as an autopsy of the human psyche, using silence as a sound state, meditation, and pain. The notion of "silent" painting is an attempt to materialize silence with a medium that appeared in the 15th century. The goal is to put in place a combination of aesthetic choices in order to create a stagnant atmosphere, where time seems to be suspended. Restricted color palette, contemporary ruins as an image of the mental space of a human being and inanimate objects such as automata, dolls and wax figures are the main components.

The combination of these different elements tends to approach the concept of "disturbing strangeness" theorized by Sigmund Freud in 1919. Indeed silent painting is a structure put in place to account for the depths of the human soul. The strange, etymologically what is external, unfamiliar, can also refer to what is hidden deep down.

Manuel Dampeyroux was born in 1991, in France. He exhibited his works nationally, as well as internationally, in the USA, Canada, Italy and Monaco.
