Watching you (2023) Drawing by Hugo Bartoli

Hugo Bartoli, born in 1968 in Montpellier, currently lives and works in France. A self-taught artist, he primarily uses ink, charcoal and acrylic on paper to explore the sensuality of the male body in his works. His drawings and paintings, often exhibited in galleries and at art fairs, attempt to capture the essence of the man he has become, without concession or false modesty.

Hugo Bartoli seeks to broaden the visibility of his multiple and protean work, which reflects his mysticism and his interest in masculine body language. His creations are imbued with metaphors and symbols, approaching the body in ways that are sometimes raw, sometimes subtle. His creative process is marked by an absence of prior intellectualization, often letting the meaning of his works emerge over time.

For Hugo, the artistic gesture is both voluntary and spontaneous, capable of taking its own direction and bringing its subjects to life autonomously. This approach allows his works to find their own path, their own direction and their deep meaning.
