Frank Noto

Color, an essence, and gesture, its engine. Franck Noto is the ambassador of a painting that freely descends the long roads of abstraction. Defying any idea of ​​aesthetic stagnation, it is with rigor that he strives to paint a work that synthesizes his diverse influences. A work that gives life to a unique and identifiable style.

Over a career spanning twenty years, Franck Noto has indeed devoted himself to excelling in hyperrealism, to turn towards a progressive cubic style decomposition of forms, letters of the alphabet and feminine curves. A master in this art of suggestion, he pursues this abstract orientation until obtaining a meticulously refined rendering.

Whether he finds himself at the foot of a huge wall or in front of his canvases, the artist defies the laws of gravity by sweeping his supports with broad strokes reminiscent of the use of the baranne, the tagger's unstoppable tool to impose his presence. Visibly marked by the weight of the layers of paint that the walls of the wasteland support, Franck Noto inflicts in the same spirit the total covering of his surfaces by the superposition in layers of colors.

Behind each of these layers, the brush (or the spray) seems to reveal or bury secrets of manufacture meditated by this autodidact. Abandoning any idea of ​​proportions, the lines meet the curves in a subtle play of contrasts, volumes and transparency. But talking about Franck Noto's work is obviously accompanied by a discourse on color, an obsession with him. The artist combines colors like words, and gracefully diffuses a structured and willingly sparkling visual language. An identifiable, invigorating language.

Admitting a weakness for the most fluorescent shades, he reveals a remarkable research of color associations by working with gradients or chiaroscuro. Franck Noto borrows from the History of art this gift of painting reality, by making the invisible visible.
