In the footsteps of painter Alain Godon at the Touquet-Paris-Plage museum

The Touquet-Paris-Plage museum is dedicating an exhibition to the painter and sculptor Alain Godon. During a private visit, he confided in his artistic evolutions.

Raised by his architect uncle on the death of his father, the artist-painter Alain Godon largely inherited the family pencil stroke. His recent works feature dancing and colorful architectures where scenes of everyday life are played out.

In the exhibition Bio that the museum of Le Touquet devotes to him, the visitor discovers the influences of the artist throughout his life: his family, street-art or his travels. He can thus see the evolution of his work, in his line as in his technique. The ground floor concentrates the works of the beginning of his career, when he was still looking for himself, while upstairs, it is possible to admire his most recent paintings.

“I’m talking about our society and what’s happening. When I came to the United States and saw a Father Neye black, I didn’t understand right away that American culture had nothing to do with f culture.French. Et art is that, it’s testifying to your travels, telling people what I saw and then telling the story of a society inside my paintings“, raconte Alain Godon.

Share his passion with the public

Painting, sculpture, printing on aluminum or paper cut in relief, Godon has continued to evolve in his artistic production, always in search of novelty. “I tried to bring movement into the painting, and then I amplified this movement with the shadows“, he explains to the visitors. This private visit is an opportunity for the artist to share his passion without filter.

And the public is receptive to this exchange: “He is something other than a guide because he tells us about his life through his works and he is passionate“, launches a first visitor. A second person is delighted to have better understood, over the course of the visit, the evolution of his art. Godon testifies to this, his way of making art has radically changed: “At the beginning of my work, I was not inhabited, I was just a young person who wanted to follow the movement. Now I don’t wanna follow no movement, I don’t care, I’m inhabited“, he exclaims.
