About this artwork
"Exposed" is a female nude framed between the bust and the upper thighs. In fact, the model is not completely naked, she is in the process of undressing, exposing herself to the viewer's gaze (hence the title of the work), by pulling aside the sides of a silk negligee. In doing so, she does not show her flesh, the result is not erotic or realistic, since a large graffiti covers the entire surface of the body like a garment, which disrupts its reading.…
Moreover, the graphic treatment, with portions of bold colors delimited by black and white lines, evokes the abstract work of Piet Mondrian, which completes the de-eroticization of this nude: color has prevailed over the drawing of forms. This painting is a unique piece made in mixed media on canvas and combines photography, digital composition and acrylic painting (many layers of transparent glaze and raised squares). The painting is framed in black wood (total dimensions: approx. 56 x 81 x 3.5cm)

« In the age of digital technologies, I couldn't just be a painter or a photographer. My 'paintographies' destroy borders and offer a resolutely contemporary hybrid art. »
Georges Dumas's artistic approach is both simple and complex. While the aesthetic of his works, which he describes as "paintographies," is highly figurative, their composition is slow and complex, blending photography, digital art, and acrylic paint. Georges Dumas transforms the models he photographs into virtual sculptures by replacing their skin with mineral materials to represent both the passage of time and the fragility of the body.
