Denis Badet

French artist based in Paris, Darkko makes illuminated paintings using led technology.
Photographer at the beginning, he uses light in a substractive way. With lighting, certain forms, faces or objects appear.
For his illuminated paintings, Darkko draws the foundation on a software, playing with shapes, fragments, filters and colors to create my workspace. Then, printing them on large plexiglass, he assembles them to a light system made of LEDS in a closed frame.
In the end, the result is a real game of lights between contrast, shine and subtilety.
You can also choose the intensity and frequency of the light for a more personal interpretation.
My influences are multiple. It goes from the futurist italian movement of the 30s to the pop’art and street art movement.
Darkko exhibit regularly into some parisian galleries and contemporary art fairs.

Denis Badet was born in Nevers (France), in 1971.
