Description
Arthur Aillaud is interested in our everyday environment. His landscapes, as he puts it, are the opposite of a postcard.
If he paints a beach, he'll include part of the parking lot behind it, with parked cars. Likewise, in the beautiful series based on the landscapes of Greece, where he went on vacation with his parents when he was a child, he reworked and combined photos of plots of land and houses under construction, posted on the Internet by real estate agencies. Thanks to the playground offered by the Web, Arthur Aillaud creates imaginary landscapes that are strikingly realistic. Beyond the mischievous traps the artist sets for us, his paintings capture the viewer's gaze by the sheer force of their pictorial qualities.
