About this artwork
Contemplating man in the digital age, and the fusion of reality and the digital universe.
After having spent a month at a residency in Finland without internet or mobile connection this series has particular sensibility to me.
The impact of the new digital age and the fact of always having ‘the answers’ on hand has a deep impact on our way of thinking. These devices and applications seem to increase our knowledge yet somehow impede our natural train… of thought. The simple yet essential pleasure of wonder and imagination.
I feel its important to be aware of this subtle, yet severe changes in our thinking.
Our train of thought is naturally drawn toward light and wonder, and is often impeded by distraction and the disguised ‘answers’ we believe these devices bring. We have begun transforming and need to be aware of the soul and fundamental aspect of our nature. In an age of selfies and devaluation of the human form , to remember the devine or universal nature of the body and mind.

« 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.
