Overview

Born in 1995 in the suburbs of Paris, France, Camille did first Fine Art studies (bachelor) before entering a private school of Special effects makeup. After playing with different mediums and trying ways to express himself, it became clear that painting and drawing were the main mediums to be used. He decided to move to Berlin in 2017, where he is now residing and working. His work has been exhibited in Germany, Denmark, the UK and soon the USA.

 

"I am working on different compositions, mixing genres and ideas, to create a fragmented picture that can be read as a whole narration. My work is an attempt to deconstruct a feeling, an action, by confronting subjects, focusing on a single moment. My creative process involves intertwining disparate images with different concepts, to construct visual allegories. I am aiming to create analogies that deliberately maintain a certain ambiguity between subjects and genres.

Animals are an important part of my work, as I want to depict strong impressions and raw feelings, violence, and passion. I am looking for a primal atmosphere, drawing upon the inherent sensuality in the animal behaviour and its interplay with human tendencies. I am mostly interested in the hunter/hunted play, the chase, the prey, as well as the
form of affection, as well as courtship rituals.

 

Having an interest in erotism, the human and its body, its desires and feelings held deep within, I focus a lot of my work on those senses. I like to repurpose images from our world or closeup pictures found in gay pornography and change its aesthetic, by playing with its contrast, soften it, to bring it to a more photographic quality.

My work is a constant show of personal existential matters and concerns, and each picture is an attempt to capture the essence of an emotion, an action, a fleeting moment imbued with subtle nuances."  - Camille Theodet
