French artist César Piette's work questions the materiality of the image and the nature of painting, while his use of traditional techniques — monochromatic layers, perspective, light, composition, and bold use of shadow — connects him to the history of figurative painting. Painted with an airbrush, his images also include three-dimensional effects. Using 3D modeling software to make his sketches, Piette’s hyperplastic subjects have a smooth and shiny rendering. It is this very thin border between the virtual and the real that gives a surreal, almost 'cartoonish' side to his creations and a form of recklessness that is welcome in today's world. In 2020, the K11 Art Mall in Guangzhou, China, hosted an impressive project by Piette in collaboration with Misha Made. His work has been exhibited in several group exhibitions at Almine Rech Brussels, Shanghai and Paris. In September 2021, Almine Rech will host a solo exhibition by the artist in London. Piette's work is in the institutional collection of X Museum, Beijing, China.
