GASPARD GIRARD D'ALBISSIN
Gaspard Girard d’Albissin (b. 1988, France) captures fragments of everyday life, transforming them into striking and unsettling images. Fascinated by modern banality, he draws inspiration from found online photographs, fashion scenes, and unassuming snapshots.
By enhancing these images with saturated details, dramatic lighting, and intense contrasts, he gives them a unique depth. In his paintings, a hand adorned with fake jewelry or a latex garment caught in the glare of a flash becomes a symbol of contemporary aesthetics, blending fleeting beauty with the illusion of appearances.
Girard d’Albissin constructs his compositions with a precise technique, combining glazing with carefully chosen framing. His attention to material and texture—between draped fabrics and reflective surfaces—echoes classical painting motifs while resonating with the digital age. Haunted by nostalgia and impermanence, his works question our relationship with images, like modern vanitas that explore the imprint of time on what seems both ordinary and eerily timeless.
