Description
Matthieu GAUTHIER, Original Blue, Oil on work overalls, 2026 Created on a pair of work overalls, the work takes on the colour of the garment as a true monochrome. Usually intended to bear the marks of movement and labour, the fabric here becomes a pictorial surface. From this deep blue, the figure of a chimpanzee gradually emerges – a species that is both familiar due to its closeness to humans and vulnerable within the natural world. Between appearance and disappearance, Matthieu Gauthier seeks not only to depict the animal, but to bring forth that invisible aspect which seems to inhabit it. The garment thus becomes a trace, a material and a site of manifestation.
