Pierre et Gilles, Le vendeur de tous Eiffel (Ibrahima Ramon Magassa), 2019
?uvre unique
photographie imprimée par jet d’encre sur toile et peinte / Ink-jet photograph printed on canvas and painted
105,5 x 133,5 cm ; 41 1/2 x 52 1/2 in.
For over four decades, photographer Pierre Commoy and painter Gilles Blanchard have been developing hybrid, four-hand images that are half-photo and half-painting, and have today established themselves in the history of Western portraiture. At the crossroads of reality and fantasy, their extravagantly-staged works are nourished by multiple references from Greek mythology and religious idols to baroque art and Hindu iconography. Madonna, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Kylie Minogue, Dita von Teese, Rose McGowan, Isabelle Huppert and Catherine Deneuve ? the most emblematic stars of their time have all come under the lens of Pierre, 70, and the brushstrokes of Gilles, 67, who retouches and embellishes each photo, applying real paint to canvas, thereby having invented Photoshop without a computer before digital editing even existed.
