Olivier GODAT

Olivier Godat is a french artist who lives and works in strasbourg - France. He paints on glass and explores his subjects true lights and transparency. His works invite to contemplation in a duo, a duel, of perception, first in a immediate and primary lecture completed under lights, by a second reading.

In his hand, painting is a metamorphosis as a poetry. A radical transformation. It reveals secrets and explore nuances from the first appearance to the deepest message.

Without backlighting, the painting come to us in a soft reading. The blue is immense. It evokes water, peaceful rivers, angry sky or the rage of the sea. The viewer’s imagination is free.

Light slips behind the scenes. The magic happens. Another dimension is revealed. Another reality emerges. Intense. Disturbing. A vibrant universe of colors. Of contrasts. The forest is majestic. The scrubland is wild. The flowers are yellow. The olive tree is there. The Corsican pine too. The trees are bushy. They come to life. They are realistic. Vibrant with life. Water meets light. Abstraction meets realism. A work is born. It evokes fragility. The beauty of our existence.

The work is soft. Complex. Glass painting is a secret language. Olivier Godat celebrates fragility. The ephemeral beauty of each moment. Through his works, he reminds us of our life. Our games of transparency. Of revelation. Each new light is an invitation. To discover the richness within us. To contemplate the preciousness of each moment of our existence
