| «Carolyn» Diptych Mixed media on canvas 121,9 X 182,9 cm / 48 X 72 in. From a portrait of Alexandre Paskanoi Michel-Ange Gallery, Montreal
Artist painter since twenty years and stemming from the Graffiti art movement, TONE masters the art of dazzling us by presenting the beauty of female faces through artworks composed of graphic and urban lines. From France, he lives and practices his art in Montreal since 2006.

My approach is mainly focused on aesthetics, although some of my paintings also contain a more engaged message.

Essentially urban, TONE's pictural work draws its inspiration from the metropolis: its energy, its dynamism, its flow of ceaseless images. He enjoys combining architecture and graphics (his two fields of study), typography, human faces as well as calligraphy. His creations also refer to aspects of the universes of Pop Culture and Street Art.

Text fragments, stencils, images from magazines, old newspapers, retrieved items from the street or from derelict industrial sites, ink, markers, pencils, various elements and paint, spread out on the surface, transcribing urban thoughts that we can untiringly scrutinize with curiosity and pleasure.

Each of my creations is unique. I like entangling and distorting styles, to vary the subjects, thus giving life to artworks that reflect the deep creative energy that drives me.
It goes without saying that he appreciates the aesthetics of feminine traits and therefore, he likes to create around women's faces which he reproduces with great realism while adding his own touch, so different and interesting. A deep, living and troubling gaze, sensuality, character; portraits that speak to us and seduce us as well.

Of the five major categories which constitute his pictorial production, that of women's faces is one of my favorites. Not only because TONE has made a beautiful diptych with my own face, but also because the complexity of the final work is always fascinating, only arousing delight when we observe the creation closer; a multitude of techniques, of objects and of materials. Far from being monotonous, TONE's works are intriguing and simply gorgeous.

TONE exhibits his artworks in several galleries and during events in France, in United States, in England and in Canada. Although his creations are sold in large numbers, they are also rented for movie sets, for commercials, for corporate events, etc. Moreover, they have been awarded several times.
Through T-Pakap Production, more and more design companies (fashion or decoration accessories, clothing, bottle labelling, furniture, etc.) call on the artist's creativity to conceive various original pieces, always made in limited series and with TONE's unique style.

I do not have a repetitive and systematic method of creation. My process varies from one composition to another according to my feeling; I leave the door open to any source of inspiration and I let myself be guided by the pulse of the moment, constantly allowing myself to experiment.

I will never forget this moment when I saw this huge painting at the entrance of the Michel-Ange Gallery, in Old Montreal. It had such an impact! A memorable and moving moment. Thank you so much TONE.
