Pierre Morand - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

Artist Pierre Morand's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For this reason, his painting style can be described as naïve, yet expresses itself in a highly classical and traditional manner. His language, in fact, is essentially figurative and finds its broadest expression in the traditional genres of landscape and still life. However, the artist manages to infuse tradition with his originality and personal touch, precisely through his pursuit of purity of representation that defines his style. Concretely, this is expressed in a fluid technique that resolves subjects with a few, quick but incisive strokes. Objects almost dematerialize in the lightness of the glazes. Even from a chromatic perspective, the artist favors decidedly pale tones, full of light.

Both in his choice of subjects and his execution, we can say that the artist Pierre Morand moves within the realm of classical and figurative art, yet displays a certain naïve approach to his compositions. His desire to achieve lightness and simplicity in representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing his artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
