Isis (2023) Tekening door Francisco G Pinzón Samper

Francisco G Pinzón Samper was born in 1997 in Bogota, Colombia. They live and work in Paris, France. Francisco G Pinzón Samper studied art sciences at the Sorbonne University in Paris and fine arts at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris. Their work oscillates among personal, wistful, and spiritual relationships. Their figures come across as vivacious, with their disparate personalities transcribed through body positioning, hand gestures, and broad splashes of color. Francisco G. Pinzón Samper left Bogotá at the age of 18 to study in France, first at the Sorbonne, then at the Beaux-Arts in Mimosa Echard’s studio, where they still work. They describe themselves as an image DJ who samples the world around them in order to draw inspiration and create. Francisco G. Pinzón Samper is attached to the notion of “range”, which refers to the set of characters into which an actor manages to slip. In the same way, they incorporate and archive a large number of images, linking and reinterpreting them in order to make them their own. Just as an actor moves from one role to another, the artist plays with images without prioritizing them. Their subjects become actors, and the backgrounds of their canvases are transformed into cinema sets. Francisco paints what they truly love. Their inspirations are many and varied: their interest in Fra Angelico is as sincere as their interest in Emilio Pucci, the 60s and their acid colors, and more contemporary manga. Painting, a daily activity, creates a salutary distancing from reality that allows them to immerse themselves in a form of introspection and meditation. Their creations reveal fragments of intimacy: portraits of those close to them, but also the fruit of their personal contemplations. Just as we can read symbols in maps that refer to our desires, our past and our future, their creations are a range of personal allegories.
