A meticulously arranged grid of abstract glyphs or cosmic diagrams, rendered with delicate ink lines against a gradient wash of turquoise and green. At first glance, the work suggests a fusion of celestial cartography, atomic structure, and surrealist notation—blurring the boundary between the scientific and the mystical.
The repeated motif of… elliptical orbits, directional vectors, and particle-like nodes evokes the language of particle physics, yet remains evocatively non-literal. This tension between recognizable form and imaginative abstraction is a hallmark of Pitout’s practice, where the metaphysical meets the methodical.
The colour gradient, shifting from sea blue to grass green, serves not only as a tranquil backdrop but subtly implies a horizon—perhaps gesturing toward the union of the terrestrial and the cosmic, the physical and the philosophical.

« My work captures abstraction, surrealism and the unpredictable. I trace the paths taken by my subjects throughout the creative process. Each work is unique. Each work, a new destination. »
Peter Pitout is an artist based in France, whose work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
Drawing from his childhood in Durban, South Africa and a background in industrial art and design, he creates paintings that balance structured forms with surrealist gestures.
His multidisciplinary practice spans oil painting, embroidery, and conceptual research, often exploring themes of light, vibration, and transformation. Pitout has participated in several art residencies in France and abroad, using these immersive experiences to deepen his artistic inquiry and expand his visual language.
For him, the creative process is a return to inner roots—a space for reflection, reconnection, and the evolution of artistic consciousness.
