Now he is exibiting in the Museum of Imaginary Art in the
Castle of
Ferrières. ( Ferrières-en-Brie France).
He is menber of The Society for Art of Imagination.
Throught his painting , Hugues Gillet has endeavoured to give
a material,
objectivited and externalized form to his personal world.
Half-animal,
half-vegetable representations dwell in luxuriant landscapes
or on smooth
horizons in hues of scorched earth, like nightmares revealed
on canevas.
Then, he couples impassive, hieratic human forms with vegetable
and mineral kingdoms to give form to terrible visions, to
revisit ancient myths and legends or to bear witness to the
contemporary world and current events.
No matter how disturbing these hybridizations may appear they
are familiar, as they stem from a long tradition of representing
the surreal and the supernatural. From painting to painting
they reveal the various stages of the artist's metaphysical
quest and his distinctive poetry.
In a classic and figurative vein , Hugues Gillet, constant
and
perfectionist, offers whoever may wish to see, one of the
"Possible Worlds"
Paul Klee spoke of.
