For several years now, Pierre Guillonneau has been exhibiting his work on a regular basis. From institutional venues (town halls and media libraries) to urban commercial spaces and prestigious settings (wine châteaux). A valuable discovery thanks to the many exchanges with a curious public, sometimes surprised by the large formats: “People's views are always interesting. When someone describes the emotion they feel when they see my work, I know I've succeeded!
In commercial spaces, stores or galleries, the juxtaposition of furniture or decorative objects gives the public an idea of a “home setting”. However, it is in very large spaces that the painter's large canvases best express themselves. Certain works, approaching two meters in height, need to mark their kinship, to respond to each other, without suffocating in an environment that is too narrow.
The development of frescoes nearly ten meters long will require other volumes, to the delight of the artist who wants to “step out of the frame”!
