About this artwork
Work from the Theory Series.
In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.
Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry… and physics.
In philosophy, theories that emphasize emergent properties have been called emergentism.

« 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. »
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.
