SURREALISM NOW! is very proud to present a Master Oil Painter of Surrealism and Fantastic Realism, HUGUES GILLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugues Gillet was born in France in 1968, and since 1992 he devoted himself to his painting, pursuing his striking work with dedication and inspiration. He has exhibited successively in Monte-Carlo, where he was sponsored by the artist Jean Carzou for the Prix d'Art Contemporain, in Ablon sur Seine, in Rouen, in several art galleries and The Salon des artistes Indépendants.
In Paris, he has exhibited in the Studio de l'Image rue des Carmes (5th), in the galerie Mouvances Place des Vosges (4th), in the galerie Samagra rue Jacob (6th), at the Presse Club de France and several salon d'Art contemporain. Now he is exhibiting in the Museum of Imaginary Art in the Castle of Ferrières. ( Ferrières-en-Brie France).
He is member of The Society for Art of Imagination.
Through his painting , Hugues Gillet has endeavored to give a material, objectified and externalized form to his personal world. Half-animal, half-vegetable representations dwell in luxuriant landscapes or on smooth horizons in hues of scorched earth, like nightmares revealed on canvas.
Then, he couples impassive, hieratic human forms with vegetable and mineral kingdoms to give form to terrible visions, to revisit ancient myths and legends or to bear witness to the contemporary world and current events.
No matter how disturbing these hybridizations may appear they are familiar, as they stem from a long tradition of representing the surreal and the supernatural. From painting to painting they reveal the various stages of the artist's metaphysical quest and his distinctive poetry.
In a classic and figurative vein , Hugues Gillet, constant and
perfectionist, offers whoever may wish to see, one of the "Possible Worlds" Paul Klee spoke of.
