Thierry Virton

"For me, creating is inventing, renouncing duplication, stagnation; renewing myself endlessly, and being satisfied with what I thought I could not create. I remain awake, listening to my emotions and trying to respond to them without limit." This is how Thierry Virton likes to express himself as a defender of his all-out creativity, open to the world and generating a work in constant plastic and chromatic experimentation.

Self-taught painter, color, material, and graphic design have always been at the center of Thierry Virton's research. Spontaneity and overflowing creativity characterize his abstract or figurative works, most often created using mixed techniques. By producing most of his painting materials, the recent development of an extremely deep matte black currently influences his pictorial work. For "NTV Black TM" is a black blacker than its rival Black Musou.

Thierry Virton presents his creations in various "Collections," each inscribed in the brilliance of the creative moment. His canvases thus blend stylistic inspirations, drawing energy from the inks in the paintings of Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh Chun, or Alechinsky, revisiting the Synthetism of Emile Bernard and the Cloisonnism of Hiroshige's Japanese prints, borrowing the glitter and gilding of Murakami or even the automatic graffiti of Keith Haring.
