About the Item
Mecano is a painting on paper by French contemporary artist Christophe Dupety, dimensions are 50 × 64 cm (19.7 x 25.2 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This expressive and abstract portrait captures the essence of its subject through bold, energetic brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and rich layers of texture. The fragmented composition introduces movement and depth, offering a nuanced emotional resonance and multiple visual interpretations.
In this portrait series, the figure stands at the center of the composition, with eyes that directly engage the viewer. The background remains abstract, allowing the focus to fall entirely on the subject’s expression and the rendering of facial features, particularly skin tone and detail.
Christophe Dupety appears especially captivated by the gaze of his models—a defining feature of their identity and the channel through which emotions flow from subject to viewer.
These contemporary portraits reflect the artist’s distinctive approach, which, in his own words, seeks “to bring out the joy of painting in my work, that is the color, the fluidity, the spontaneity.” His brushwork is assertive and dynamic, often leaving traces of movement and intention on the surface.

Christophe Dupety
Christophe Dupety’s paintings express the vitality and spontaneity of gesture, free of all interference. They also reflect a taste for taking risks: refusing to control everything but, on the contrary, wanting to confront the chaos of life by involving phenomena linked to weightlessness, flow and accidents. For the artist, these can be used in a way that contributes to what he wants us to see: the joy of painting. An artist who favours a form of painting that can be read immediately, Christophe Dupety seeks to encourage a spontaneous emotional response in the viewer. “I always try to emphasise the joy of painting in my work: colour, shape and fluidity, and above all a sort of graphic challenge in which things always seem spontaneous and graphic in any case, because drawing has always been very important for me.’’

Unique work
THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF MOHAMMAD ARIYAEI
" Gentleness and oriental wisdom follow the supercharged bubbling to which we were accustomed from the previous deliberately art brut exhibition by Mohammad ARIYAEI. The Iranian painter's imagination moves serenely from the wildest frenzy to the meditative calm of great, fabulous stories. The artist then took pleasure in pouring the volcanic torrent of his barbaric figures onto the delicate latticework with which he is accustomed to lining his backgrounds with the patience of an illuminating monk. Already sweetness and paroxysm coexisted. Now gentleness wins. The trained imagination of the painter, yet spontaneously bubbling, by instinct as much as by erudition, has no difficulty in reconnecting with the abundant oriental tradition of the thousand and one nights, which, like a long underground river, resurfaces at the light of his painting. Spring renewal of traditions still alive. Systematic filling of space, a sort of oriental version of the Riches Heures...
