ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Florent Stosskopf, a self-taught painter based in Brittany, France, masterfully blends traditional themes and archetypes with a modern aesthetic. His educational background includes a BA in Web and Graphic Design and an Advanced Technician Diploma in Communication from L’école Multimedia.

Florent’s vibrant use of colour and intricate scenes evoke comparisons to artists such as Jonas Wood, Guy Yanai, Hillary Pecis, and Paul Wackers. His self-taught approach results in art that is both relatable and thought-provoking. Florent draws inspiration from art books by Picasso, Matisse, and contemporary artists, reinterpreting their works through his own unique lens. His paintings invite viewers to question whether the images represent personal experiences or explorations of perception.

The unidimensionality of his work, a hallmark of his graphic design background, is a defining characteristic of his vivid style. His compositions, reminiscent of collage, employ an edited viewpoint that removes shadow and exaggerates colour saturation, creating a dynamic sense of disconnection from reality.

Since joining our gallery in 2020, Florent has exhibited his work in Hong Kong, Canada, New York, Madrid, London, and France. His London show sold out before opening. With new work and solo shows scheduled well into 2024 in Madrid, France, and London, Florent Stosskopf is undoubtedly a contemporary artist to watch.
