About the Item
Valentin is a unique oil on canvas painting by contemporary artist Christophe Dupety, dimensions are 80 × 80 cm (31.5 × 31.5 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The artist's endeavour is "to bring out the joy of painting in his work, i.e. colour, fluidity, spontaneity..." His gesture, sharp and vigorous, is often visible on the canvas. He also leaves room for "accidents" (drops and dripping) which "can occasionally give something to a work, an energy, some joy, something unexpected."
Through this explosion of colours, both energetic and joyous, Christophe Dupety gives us a veritable ode to nature and to life. An avid fan of an easily readable, direct form of painting, the artist is looking to arouse an immediate emotional response.
In this series of portraits, the subject is placed in the centre of the composition, the eyes staring back at the spectator. The background is of an abstract nature: figurative elements when there are any (a blind, an armchair) are barely outlined. Christophe Dupety seems particularly interested in his model's stare, which becomes the trademark of their identities and the vehicle of their feelings which the artist conveys to the onlooker.

Christophe Dupety
Christophe Dupety’s paintings express the vitality and spontaneity of gesture, free of all interference. They also reflect a taste for taking risks: refusing to control everything but, on the contrary, wanting to confront the chaos of life by involving phenomena linked to weightlessness, flow and accidents. For the artist, these can be used in a way that contributes to what he wants us to see: the joy of painting. An artist who favours a form of painting that can be read immediately, Christophe Dupety seeks to encourage a spontaneous emotional response in the viewer. “I always try to emphasise the joy of painting in my work: colour, shape and fluidity, and above all a sort of graphic challenge in which things always seem spontaneous and graphic in any case, because drawing has always been very important for me.’’
