About the Item
Azure Vine 2 is a unique oil on canvas painting by contemporary artist Mathieu Piffeteau, dimensions are 61 × 50 cm (24 × 19.7 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
The artist employs a unique and distinct method that involves fragmenting the act of painting: he paints with brushstrokes, line after line, square after square. To produce the colour gradation that gives the desired illusion of light, each line has a slight shade change. It takes weeks or months to finish this repetitive process, which calls for extreme patience and attention to detail. Although the creative process is always planned and deliberate, errors and experimentation can lead to unexpected results.
In his abstract paintings, Mathieu Piffeteau explores the diffusion of light and optical illusions by skilfully combining simple, universal geometric shapes with oil-painted colour gradations.The result is a captivating work that exudes a vibrant energy; the viewer is immersed in pure aesthetic contemplation, a unique and subjective sensory experience.

Mathieu Piffeteau was born in Nantes in 1982 to a surrealist painter mother and a topographer father. Certain family visits to museums had a profound effect on the young artist: he marvelled at the imaginative power of Salvador Dalí at the theatre-museum in Figueras and was amazed by the incredible optical illusions of Victor Vasarely at the eponymous Foundation in Aix-en-Provence. At the same time, he admired the perfection of his father’s drawings at home, developing his own taste for precision and geometry. The shapes on which his canvases are based are now created with the compasses and rulers of his topographer father. Mathieu Piffeteau has been a self-taught painter since the age of 20. However, his work at the time had nothing in common with today’s: figurative, rapid and instinctive, it was an outlet for his feelings about injustice and violence in society. After completing a master’s degree in sociology, he moved to Australia to live in the Aboriginal community of Wugularr (Beswick). There, he took part in the production of works that were halfway between art and craft, and he was marked by this extremely repetitive and time-consuming traditional painting, subject to strict codes. Back in France, he moved to Biarritz to pursue his passion for surfing and worked in the construction industry as a rope access technician. Following an accident at work in 2018, he decided to devote himself to painting and joined a collective studio. A feeling of powerlessness and frustration in the face of the problems of our world led him to abandon figurative representation. Mathieu Piffeteau became interested in light and optical effects, subjects on which he would later focus his artistic research. Motivated by a strong desire to exhibit his contemporary paintings in a public place, he prepared a very ambitious personal project to show his works in the Sainte-Eugénie crypt in Biarritz. Four years later, in 2023, he inaugurated his first solo exhibition with 53 canvases of various sizes created especially for the spaces of this fascinating venue. Between gallery exhibitions and increasingly immersive installation projects, the contemporary painter continues to question the role of the artist, his relationship with the observer, and the impact of our culture and society on contemporary art. “It’s not about intellectual representation, but a sensitive approach. My intention is to create a sensation by mixing shapes and colours.”
