Alain Rigollier - Guerrier 2021

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The style of artist Alain Rigollier is the result of a refined blend of figuration and abstraction. Rigollier's research begins with a figurative language, but he extends this tradition to entirely abstract representational expressions. The exaltation of the formal values ​​of the figure, which characterizes Rigollier's work, is expressed through a rational spirit that guides the development of his compositions. Rigollier's works, therefore, are the result of a perfect balance of shapes and colors, arranged with a profound sense of geometry. Within the work, everything is governed by a rational spirit, but this rationality is also expressed through a thorough analysis of the subjects, drawing on contemporary artistic influences. Indeed, the subjects are broken down, almost spread out in a complex space reminiscent of Cubism. Furthermore, everything is subjected to a remarkable synthesis that abstracts the forms, always in the same geometric and rationalist spirit that characterizes Alain Rigollier's entire oeuvre.
