About this artwork
This male nude belongs to a series entitled "Palimpsests," which operates on the principle of dialogue between two different techniques and two different temporalities. Here, we find both an ancient sculpture, photographed in a museum—a very classical male nude with a man holding a fragment of an unknown object in his hand—and a 19th-century engraving showing a man falling, who avoids the fall only because he, too, is holding a branch. It is this…
doubled gesture of a man holding a branch that gives the painting its title, which means "branch of salvation."
This artwork is created using mixed media on canvas and combines photography, digital composition, and acrylic painting (glazes and raised squares). The painting is framed in a black American-style frame (overall 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.
