HONFLEUR GALLERY NIGHT: MIHOUB & PEPPONE

MIHOUB

Mihoub lets himself be guided by his instinct; “When I create, I let myself be crossed by the energy that is released, and gradually, I see forms appear. A composition for me is like a dance, a ballet…” He draws his inspiration from artists like Pollock or Dubuffet for the Brut & Spontaneous creation and also Basquiat for his “Rage to paint”. His artistic approach: “Our mind is the last space of freedom that we can ignore or explore." 

PEPPONE

Christophe Tixier, known as Peppone, is a passionate sculptor and collector. He has gathered thousands of diverse objects that coexist in a dense and informative jumble. His first comic books were given to him by his father, and he subsequently enriched his collection. The artist utilizes this abundance of paper to create brightly colored and variegated resin forms imbued with popular symbolism that evoke the innocence of childhood and his native territory. Peppone draws inspiration from the worlds of Star Wars, Marvel, and Walt Disney.
