The Dancer Print

Sébastien Grimbaum is a French-Mexican artist based in New York. In his work, he employs the techniques of cubism in order to deconstruct the subject into multiple perspectives and movements, creating compositions that are dynamic and expressive. By breaking down the subject into geometric shapes and planes, Sébastien Grimbaum is able to depict the subject from multiple viewpoints and angles and show the subject in motion. This allows him to convey a sense of depth and movement within a single image, and to create a more dynamic and expressive visual language. Artist Statement From an early age, I was always inspired by cubist artists and abstract expressionism. I started experimenting in deconstructing subjects into multiple perspectives, movements, and emotions. Through the juxtaposition and layering of colors, shapes, and planes I create compositions that challenge the traditional representations of subjects and perspective and seek to invite viewers into a dynamic dialogue with art. Acrylic paints lend vibrant colors and crisp edges, while charcoals and pastels contribute depth and expressive marks. This deliberate choice of materials enhances the visual impact of my artwork, providing additional layers of complexity and inviting viewers to explore the tactile qualities of my pieces. My artistic practice is a continuous exploration of the possibilities inherent in materials, combining them in innovative ways to evoke emotion and intrigue. By pushing the boundaries of traditional mediums, I strive to create compositions that engage and challenge viewers, inviting them to discover new perspectives and interpretations within my works.
