About this artwork
This work belongs to the series entitled "Palimpsests," which operates on the principle of dialogue between two different techniques and two different temporalities. Here, it is the encounter of a high relief photographed at the Louvre and an engraving representing a scene of mourning where a mother mourns her very young dead child. In "Grieving," everything seems to converge towards mourning and contemplation, the woman standing, the mother sitting,…
and the little angel with her head bowed, in a melancholic and gentle atmosphere.
This work is made in mixed media on canvas and combines photography, digital composition and acrylic painting (glaze and raised signature square). The painting is framed in a black American box (total dimensions: approximately 69 x 52 x 3.5 cm).

« 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.
