About The Artwork

I was concerned by how I could reply gracefully to this contemporary artwork: "Comedian» from Maurizio Cattelan through Classical Painting and make a powerful statement. Represent it in a "Trompe l'oeil" technique behind the canvas became evidence. Not compelling at first glance, we surprise ourselves to find beauty, brought by traditional techniques, quality materials, training of the artist eye and hand. Trompe l'oeil is french for 'deceive the eye'. “Trompe l'art” (Fool the art) remembers the controversy and absurdity and "Dans les coulisses" (Behind the scenes) stresses the influence of visual arts on societies. The real value of my artwork il 1 200$ (plus frame 250$). Since the scotched banana (The idea of...) sold 120 000$, this would be insulting to sell a realistic painting (and the idea of it) with hours of work for less. For concept coherence, price is 120 000$, the balance (118 550$) goes to a foundation at the discretion of the buyer. This brings consciousness that value of things depends on conventions and priorities, both defined by societies and individuals.

As a contemporary realist painter Guy-Anne Massicotte’s approach to art is both traditional and contemporary with an emphasis on technique and fine craftsmanship. She works with oils memorializing old master’s techniques. Eclectic subjects and several sources of inspiration include antiques, animals, people, and nature. Her path to realism always flirts with abstraction; turning disparate elements into a coherent design, finding colour and value themes that unify, and leading brushstrokes have beauty and refinement that enhance impressions of reality. Each artwork is a process of seeing beyond reality to show her own vision and bring sensual connection with the subject and find poetry. Established in galleries for twenty years, we can see her works in major international events and private collections around the world. The subjects and scenes she depicts sometimes take roots in the past, sometimes trend towards a modern universe, always through the realism lens. www.guyannemassicotte.com
