The Passenger Painting

Brat is a self-taught French artist born in Paris in May 1968. From cinema to plastic art After working in several technical jobs in the film industry, Brat became a film director before turning to visual art to express his vision of the world. On a daily basis, he draws on all forms of art, from painting to music, including comics, photography, architecture and design, in order to shape his universe and observe the world and its constant mutations. Working in a figurative style, he paints with acrylics, synthetics or glitter on rigid materials such as plexi, wood fibre, metal, cardboard or even on skateboards stuck together. The collective unconscious Brat's artistic thinking revolves around the collective unconscious. Each of his paintings and sculptures is intended to evoke intimate feelings and to lead the viewer to transpose his or her own vision of the world around them. Often depicting winged characters, as in the series "Metamorphosis", the artist's compositions parallel the world and the very existence of the human being and symbolise the allegorical transformation of the soul freed from all vanity. An international artist The artist's committed works have been exhibited in France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, China, Mexico and Belgium at the Affordable Art Fair.
