Comment représenter encore une fois la diversité humaine, tant dessiné depuis des lustres, avec toutes ses caractéristiques, toutes ses différences ?
L’enjeu de ce projet, était premièrement de représenter la diversité humaine avec ces différences, a travers des signes-personnages, des archétypes, qu’on appelles niotypes©.
Les niotypes© sont des signes graphiques développés pendant des années, au fur et à mesure qu’on rencontre des gens, qu’on les croise, on les regarde. Sont des signes issu de l’imagination, peut être d’une imagination et/ou d’une mémoire lointaine, des signes a la fois simples dans la lecture, mais complexes, puisque chaque signe c’est la quintessence du personnage qu’il représente avec ses caractéristiques, parfois facilement a les décryptés et reconnaître, parfois avec des traits aléatoires, qui intrigue, pose des questions, accroche le regard, pour ceux qui se font le temps de les explorer.
On peut parler de polymorphisme, cette propriété qu'ont les individus d'une espèce de se présenter sous plusieurs formes différentes, puisque les niotypes© sont des représentations graphique unique, et par analogie dans chaque niotype© on peut trouver ou associer un individu.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Stencil

The stencil is a technique that allows you to reproduce a pattern using a pre-cut plate that is superimposed on the support.

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Airbrush

Paint made with a miniature paint gun that breathes the medium through compressed air on the support.

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Wax

Sculpture technique using a mixture of pigments diluted in melted wax.

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.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Marker

Drawing made using a large felt with its own ink source. The ink may or may not be indelible.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
