Thierry Virton

A Work in Constant Evolution

"For me, creating is inventing, renouncing duplication, stagnation; constantly renewing myself, and being satisfied with what I thought I could not create. I remain alert, listening to my emotions and trying to respond to them without limits."

This is how Thierry Virton likes to express himself, as a defender of a creativity that is all-encompassing, open to the world and generating a work in constant plastic and chromatic experimentation.

Multiple Influences

A self-taught painter, he places color, material, and graphics at the center of his research. Spontaneity and overflowing creativity characterize his abstract or figurative works, most often created using mixed techniques. He makes a large part of his painting materials himself, and the recent development of an extremely deep matte black, named "NTV Black™", even more intense than the famous Black Musou, currently influences his work.

Thierry Virton presents his creations in different "Collections", each born in the dazzling momentum of the creative moment. His canvases freely mix stylistic inspirations: he draws energy from the inks in the paintings of Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh Chun, or Alechinsky, revisits the Synthetism of Émile Bernard and the cloisonnism of the Japanese prints of Hiroshige, borrows the glitter and golds from Murakami, and even the automatic graffiti of Keith Haring.
