Painting by Guillaume Bottazzi near the Eiffel Tower
The public is invited to discover this painting of the artist Guillaume Bottazzi during this event at 20 avenue de Lowendal in Paris, near the Eiffel Tower.
This oil on raw linen canvas leads us to travel in a sober and unreal universe. This painting confronts us with a contradiction since the effects of lights do not respect the fundamental rules of painting. Indeed, each element seems to receive shadows in a random way and this induces the observer to create spaces that escape the field of the frame of the table.
According to Éric Kandel, the non-visible parts stimulate our cognitive activity.
This work by Guillaume Bottazzi focuses his attention on the effects produced, enhancing the aesthetic-cognitive activity of the observer.
