He went to the art school of Marseille ESADMM: Ecole Supe?rieur d' Art et de Design Marseille Me?diterrane?e, graduating in 2015. " This painting is based on a picture I took of a friend in Paris on a night out, says Hippolyte. As he was dancing I noticed the red light of a neon bouncing on his cheek. I liked the whole scene so I grabbed my camera & took the picture. I've purposefully cropped the image so that he wouldn't be in the middle of the painting
- I prefer when not much happens in the middle so that the eye of the viewer can travel more freely. instead of being stuck in the middle of the painting. This painting represents my work very well as we can see several ways of painting used
- his hat is nicely detailed; his face is in a nice rm brushstroke & for his top I went full abstract, but it's actually the part I spent the most time. " As I paint I look for a way to represent something in a few brushstrokes, it's what I find challenging, but the fact that I enjoy seeing different styles clash in one painting makes me change my way of applying paint in the same painting. Every painting is a result of what I've learned so far plus a little bit of experimentation. It's a never-ending process.
