Yannick Fournié’s painting uses hyper realism techniques. From acrylic resin to oil work, he works on the image as a director, using lighting and framing as decoding tools. Like a street kid, grown up too fast, the artist initiates the series “Cops”, a work questioning authority. He develops his researches on power, violence and the dictatorship of the consumer society and Medias, mixing it up with references of his generation.
