ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork, a black and white graphic composition, is an explosion of contemporary cultural elements and iconic symbols of modern society. At the center of the piece, a bold illustration of a caricatured character with an exaggerated expression seems to absorb and regurgitate the surrounding chaos. Around it, a myriad of graffiti and black-and-white drawings compile various symbols and logos that embody the pervasive influences of social media and technology in our daily lives: Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and references to platforms like ChatGPT. The presence of historical figures such as Nikola Tesla and commercial brands like JP Morgan introduces a striking juxtaposition of the old and the new. Tesla, known for his contributions to electricity and mechanics, appears as a counterpoint, evoking the pivotal role of past figures in shaping our technological present. Keywords like "DOPAMINE," "WORK HARD PLAY HARD," and "SOCIETY!" are scattered throughout, creating a chaotic yet captivating narrative about cultural expectations, digital addictions, and the pressure for productivity. The eye is constantly drawn to various elements, constructing a dynamic and engaging visual experience. Drawings of faces, lightning bolts, electronic devices, and other graphic elements are rendered with vigorous and edgy strokes, adding to the frenetic energy of the piece. This style recalls the rebellious nature of street art and doodles, highlighting a sharp critique of information overload and the hyperconnectivity of our era. The inclusion of brands like "$HEIN" and references to the culture of fast and fleeting consumption juxtaposes art and commerce.

[ UK ] Graphic designer, artistic director, designer, illustrator, painter, digital artist, communicator ..., Notte is a "modern artist" who combines a classic sensitivity with a start-up spirit. It is sometimes difficult to find your way, Xavier Notte never really hesitated. “Already in kindergarten, I wanted to be a designer; In primary School, the vanishing lines and the treatment of my drawings amazed my teachers, ”he smiles. The choice to train in graphic design professions will only be a formality, and the ambition to quickly stand on its own two feet too. At just 25 years old, he declared himself a self-entrepreneur, then joined forces to create a communication agency; the experience will not be conclusive. He will prefer to resume his journey, solo, and move forward with his hand on his projects; they are numerous. When we ask Xavier about his inspirations, he evokes the Fibonacci curve, golden ratio, Leonardo da Vinci, Warhol and computers - graphic tablet, Illustrator, Indesign ... Finally, the artist draws as much from the avant-garde as classicism. With sincerity, he frolics in a universe which mixes desire for success and artistic practice. Xavier Notte is a complete, multidisciplinary artist; even a gifted man, "who does not want to restrict himself but go after his dreams." Modern, curious, erudite, inventor; his fervor for Italian Renaissance painting was probably not the result of chance. [ FR ] Graphiste, directeur artistique, designer,illustrateur, peintre, artiste digital, communicant…, Laurent Notte est un « modern artist» qui conjugue une sensibilité classique à l’esprit start-up. Il s’avère parfois difficile de trouver sa voie, Xavier Notte lui n’a jamais vraiment hésité. «Déjà à la maternelle, je voulais être dessinateur ; au CM2, les lignes de fuite et le traitement de mes dessins bluffaient mes professeurs », sourit-il. Le choix de se former aux métiers du graphisme ne sera qu’une formalité, et l’ambition de rapidement voler de ses propres ailes également. À tout juste 25 ans, il se déclare auto-entrepreneur, puis s’associe pour créer une agence de communication ; l’expérience ne sera pas concluante. Il préférera reprendre sa route, en solo, et avancer à sa main sur ses projets ; ils sont nombreux.
