About this artwork
This series of works is inspired by the literature of Robert Burton and others.
A study into the nature and origins of melancholy.
The work has further developed into an origins study of sorts.
The universe conspired to bring you into being.
To set you forward on a path. Encounters and collisions.
Machination: Plot
--------------------
“Deep within, there is something profoundly known,
not consciously, but subconsciously.
A quiet truth, that… is not a version of something,
but an original knowing.
What this, absolute, truth is may be none of our business…
but it is there,
guiding us along the path of greater becoming;
a true awareness.
It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required.
We are offspring of such a powerfully divine force –
Creator of all things known and unknown.”
― T.F. Hodge

« 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.
