Georges Zannol

I’ve been an artistic painter since 1994. My artistic approach is mainly surrealistic. I use the symbolism specific to this movement to which I add my personal conception of the influence the colors have on the unconscious. My conception is the result of a research started 8 years ago with an in-depth interpretation of some “spontaneous” paintings.
From this research comes an idealistic conception of art, based on the idealistic philosophy.
Idealism is the most representative movement of my work.

Georges Zannol belongs to the family of surrealist artists and his works are mostly made with oil or acrylic and his favourite framework he uses is linen or cotton canvas.
Here is an usual actor who knows how to do everything, and you can find the same talent in artistic and technical terms, whatever it is about his perspectives, compositions or tones.
More important for the artist than the matter’s effect is the drawing, which is well structured with an absolute rigour and it seems that whatever time it takes, it does not stop the painter, Georges Zannol always has time …
With the painting “The Freud’s enigma” or “Vishuda” we immediately enter into the surrealist universe of the creator, the shades and plastic of the characters are perfectly performed in the spirit required by the master.
Portraits (such as “Anne de Méjanès”) in the style of Philippe de Champaigne remind us of the importance of mixing shades and lights.
Master of light of an irradiant painting, by his finest touch and subtle games in his representations the artist reveals an illusion of a distraught world.
Through encountering his favourite themes, the painter offers us as many images marked with the seal of surrealism, certainly embellished, but seen through a critical and affected look.
Whatever the subject, harmony between the diverse elements remains in a perfect consistency.
Probably a little virtuoso, with an innate gift which is amplified after knowing doubt and suffering, but by always keeping a strong desire inside to go forward.
Sensitive to a troubled world of incessant injustices, the artist reminds us with mockery or irony that we are fragile, with our belief and our sword of Damocles.
If enthusiasm does not always appear in the compositions, it is because the first emotion follows a long term thought, an interrogation on the subject, in which the artist wants to restore the truth to the point of lingering, to grasp the extremely precise touch of the outlines to a familiar face.
You could object that the technique is not everything, that is true, but once again, Georges Zannol reveals to us a reflection full of humanity far from platitudes.
With Georges Zannol, we will go on an initiatory journey through a non common artwork that will not leave anybody behind, a travel where the spirit and heart meet the light which makes this master vibrate …
