Hypnagogique Painting

Carlito, born in Nevers in 1992, is an abstract painter but does not claim to be such. "He is only what he does and what he does is just that, the colors spring from the depths of what he guesses in him". Admirer of the works of Pierre Soulages, master of black alongside whom he exhibited his productions on the walls of the Outreloire gallery in Nevers, Carlito nevertheless makes colors rain down on his supports. Acrylic on canvas, digital screen printing, inlay on wood, painting on glass: on each medium, its pigments spread out and the shapes come together without ever betraying their own contours. Of construction. “I like to think of my painting as a reflection of a person recovering from trauma. At the beginning of my creation, the colors mix randomly in an uncontrolled gesture, the accidents of life form a construction... Then I begin the deconstruction of the work, with various processes in order to obtain a harmony, a balance " . Pain is the engine, instinct is the tool, and the unexpected is the reward.
