"In a universe where lights intersect, where reality intertwines with the imaginary, luminescent art transports us into a dreamlike world where magic comes to life."
Baptiste Gond is a French contemporary artist who transcends the boundaries of traditional art through the use of invisible fluorescent paints and inks. He creates unique pieces of art that metamorphose when night falls.
After studying graphic arts in the city of Tours, Baptiste devoted several years to researching and developing techniques to master these special colors. In his quest for the invisible, he studies the properties of these materials and searches for the most intense and durable fluorescent pigments. Concurrently, he takes interest in the latest technological advancements to develop and design innovative UV lighting, allowing him to unveil the hidden secrets of his paintings. His research has led him to explore the infinite possibilities offered by the interactions between light and matter, pushing the boundaries of perception.
Duality is at the heart of his work. His creations are both veiled and unveiled, hidden and revealed. In the light of day, his works capture attention with their finesse and precision. In the darkness of night, the paintings come alive with a new life, revealing an unexpected and wonderful universe. The artist thus initiates a dialogue between two worlds: that of visible reality and that of the enchanted invisible.
