\nManuel Fernandez, alias KiKo, est un artiste fran\u00e7ais n\u00e9 en 1985 \u00e0 Martigues dans cette commune proche de Marseille qui lui inspire cet orange brulant qui inonde le nombre de ses \u0153uvres.<\/p>\n
KiKo a le go\u00fbt du dessin et de la peinture depuis toujours. Il dessine comme il respire. D’un seul trait affirm\u00e9, il crayonne les \u00e9motions qu’ils n’expriment pas avec des mots. KiKo se construit ainsi un univers imaginaire o\u00f9 l’enfance qui y suspend son vol lui inspirera toute son \u0153uvre.<\/p>\n
En 2017, quand il d\u00e9cide de se consacrer \u00e0 sa passion de l’art, il choisit symboliquement \u00ab KiKo \u00bb, son surnom d’enfant, comme nom d’artiste et ancre sa d\u00e9marche artistique dans ces mots de Jean Genet : \u00ab Cr\u00e9er, c’est toujours parler de l’enfance \u00bb<\/p>\n
Sa d\u00e9marche artistique est une qu\u00eate perp\u00e9tuelle pour cr\u00e9er l’\u00e9motion ultime qui va r\u00e9veiller l’enfant enfoui dans chacun de nous. Ses peintures invitent \u00e0 pr\u00e9server la candeur de l’enfance. Et si des noms de grandes marques s’affichent \u00e7a et l\u00e0 sur ses toiles, c’est pour mieux nous interroger sur ces enfants qui projetteront dans l’\u00e2ge adulte la m\u00e9lancolie de l’enfance vol\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Digne h\u00e9ritier des artistes du Pop\/Street Art, c’est pourtant Amedeo Modigliani et sa capacit\u00e9 de faire ressentir l’\u00e2me derri\u00e8re le mod\u00e8le qui bouleverse KiKo.<\/p>\n
Sa technique tr\u00e8s personnelle et son sens de la perfection ach\u00e8vent de signer son ADN artistique. KiKo dessine au fusain, \u00e0 main lev\u00e9e sur la toile, dans l’urgence de la cr\u00e9ation. Chaque dessin est unique, l’artiste refuse d’utiliser le pochoir. C’est \u00e0 la bombe et \u00e0 la peinture projet\u00e9e qu’il r\u00e9alise, avec une prudence extr\u00eame pour pr\u00e9server le dessin, ses sublimes fonds aux couleurs souvent primaires. Sur l’esquisse au fusain, il pratique ensuite l’encrage et repasse \u00e0 l’encre de Chine chaque trait de fusain au pinceau.<\/p>\n
Si KiKo finit ses toiles par une couche de r\u00e9sine apportant une ultra-brillance \u00e0 ses toiles, c’est pour nous rappeler que l’essentiel se trouve toujours sous le vernis de l’apparence.

\nManuel Fernandez, aka KiKo, is a French artist born in 1985 in Martigues in this town near Marseille which inspires him this burning orange which floods the number of his works.<\/p>\n
KiKo has always had a taste for drawing and painting. He draws as he breathes. With a single assertive stroke, he sketches the emotions that they do not express with words. KiKo thus builds an imaginary universe where the childhood which suspends its flight there will inspire all his work.<\/p>\n
In 2017, when he decided to devote himself to his passion for art, he symbolically chose “KiKo”, his childhood nickname, as an artist name and anchors his artistic approach in these words of Jean Genet: “To create is always to speak of childhood”<\/p>\n
His artistic approach is a perpetual quest to create the ultimate emotion that will awaken the child buried in each of us. His paintings invite us to preserve the candor of childhood. And if names of big brands appear here and there on his canvases, it is to better question us about these children who will project into adulthood the melancholy of stolen childhood.<\/p>\n
A worthy heir to the artists of Pop\/Street Art, it is nevertheless Amedeo Modigliani and his ability to make us feel the soul behind the model that upsets KiKo.<\/p>\n
His very personal technique and his sense of perfection complete the signature of his artistic DNA. KiKo draws with charcoal, freehand on the canvas, in the urgency of creation. Each drawing is unique, the artist refuses to use stencils. It is with spray paint and projected paint that he creates, with extreme caution to preserve the drawing, his sublime backgrounds in often primary colors. On the charcoal sketch, he then practices inking and goes over each charcoal stroke with a brush in Indian ink.<\/p>\n
If KiKo finishes his canvases with a layer of resin giving an ultra-shine to his canvases, it is to remind us that the essential is always found under the varnish of appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":725,"featured_media":100384,"template":"","taxo_year_participe":[136],"class_list":["post-100063","artist","type-artist","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
