Colors and shapes of the world is the collection of the moment for the artist, who, as since his childhood, is passionate about colors and shapes, through multiple hues, varied landscapes and rich cultures, from the bright hues of the tropics to the soft nuances of polar regions. Imagine deep earth tones reflecting the warm ochres of deserts, the lush greens of forests, the calming blues of oceans, the vibrant reds of bustling markets and the pure white of snow-capped peaks. So many incredible colors contributing to this rich chromatic diversity and infinite shapes. These shapes could evoke the complex geometry of modern cities, the soothing symmetry of Zen gardens, or the organic contours of natural elements. By combining these elements, the collection could capture the eclectic beauty of our planet.
The artist uses a universal and inclusive language here, avoiding specific cultural references. Simple and clear messages, accompanied by abstract visual images, giving total freedom of interpretation, specific to each individual.
This series has existed since 2018. It testifies to the way in which Thomas Jeunet has over the years defined his own style, his singular aesthetic, which he deploys through these works.
It is a series of works of art celebrating in particular the travels and experiences that shaped his imagination, his inspirations and his desires for artistic expression. He plays with the effects of mise en abyme, of frame within frame, constructing multiple stories within the same space, and proposing to read his paintings like stories, like the chapters of a novel, the sections of a newspaper. , or even the panels of a comic strip. From the mystery and elegance of black to vibrant and bold yellow, through the ochres of the earth, the combination of colors and painterly touch in this series creates a play of lights, warmth and textures, creating sensations similar to those felt when facing landscapes immersed in the autumn and winter seasons.
This series invites us to travel, to think, to dream, to cultivate our differences and to discover new horizons
