About this artwork
Oil & Metalised Golden Thread on Canvas.
61x50cm
2023.
This series of works is inspired by the literature of Robert Burton and others.
A study into the nature and origins of melancholy.
“It was little more than a weak flame flickering under the weight of his melancholia, but it was there.
A splinter of possibility. Maybe he didn't want to die.
Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to live.
It didn't burn away his sadness. It didn't make his future appear… any less dark.
But it was there—hope, perhaps, or something like it—and it was enough.”
― Traci Chee, The Speaker

« 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.
