Frairot Maxime | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Above all, it is characters that Maxime depicts on canvas. His portraits, evocative and intriguing, with large eyes surrounded by black, do not leave indifferent. Spectators caught in the act, their looks challenge us. They observe us too, impassive, reflections of our own emotions. The artist works instinctively, always with a musical background, and usually creates several paintings simultaneously. Fascinated by red, he is careful not to abuse it, and rather takes pleasure in marrying colors and imagining new shades. Creative, he mixes techniques and plays with textures, shapes and styles. Curious, he is inspired by painters such as Warhol, Soutine or Klimt, and appreciates videos of artists in their studios. With his seemingly whimsical works, Maxime actually confronts his audience with others, the world and ultimately himself.
