Introduction to Gwenael Salaun
 



'Testing' by Gwenael Salaun, 2008

Drawing and painting on paper, 92x110cm             

With this new artwork, Gwenael Salaun pursues his search for hidden meaning behind the symbols of our modern civilisation. The superposition of apparently non related images converges into the focal point of an old music recorder. Love, poetry , consumerism and death are present in the artwork as they are in the songs by this rapper, and mixed  in the same way his music is. But the rapper himself is a symbol of revolt and creativity that gets mixed into the broader picture, revealing our own misunderstanding of this new generation.

Gwenael Salaun explores with great talent the possibilities of a different technique from his usual canvas paintings. Combining pencil drawing and brush painting on a thin white paper, he creates a subtle artwork with a deep soul. This artwork succesfully plays the contrast of a very contemporary theme with a drawing technique that echoes traditional asian art.

About The French Art Studio                            

The French Art Studio is a London-based art gallery specialised in promoting French contemporary art.

Created in 2006 by Caroline and Jerome Le Luel, it aims at creating a fruitful link between France and the UK by helping talented French artists to gain the international recognition they deserve and by proposing unseen French artworks to UK art amateurs, without the hassle of finding them abroad.

The French Art Studio is not a traditional art gallery. We have developed solutions to showcase art without having a permanent exhibition space. We participate to leading international art fairs, organize private shows and often present art to collectors directly at their home. We also showcase artworks in partnership with Eight, a private members club in the City of London.
