Michel Pellaton is a COLLAGIST artist. He “speaks about the world” by inventing, promoting and experimenting with joyful and non-resigned visual methods. For him, collage is above all combinations made of REFLEXIVITY and ASSOCIATION. His field remains that of creation. He places great value on the necessary renewal of his operational practices and on confrontations with the major visual changes that mark each decade and which more broadly reflect our cultures in their complexities and their challenges. He has been able to develop a kind of grammar of collage developed through experience. The fascinating thing about this grammar is that it allows him to approach almost all areas: Iconography, semantics, style exercises, the beginning of digital technology, currency, architecture, design or decoration… At the same time, he has remained attentive to finding uses and practices of making collage WITH those he calls “the other protagonists of the recovered or produced materials necessary for any production”. If he first classically recovered images from here and elsewhere, he quickly asked other contemporary artists directly to participate in various collective works programs. Then he extended his collaborations to other actors in the art world, then to other disciplines, becoming interested in transdisciplinary productions, until returning to the fundamentals of "doing together: Collage is nothing other than the transparent cooperation and collaboration of all the actors in the chain, more or less complex or rapid".
Following these confrontations with design, Michel Pellaton began working on SPHERES. This choice revolutionized his work. Gradually he developed what became the SPACEMAKER: collages within collages designed as laboratories for later and parallel spaces. He thus resolved or transposed the question of the context of origin and destination of the images in these collages, which has always been a reference axis in his approach. Currently, a large part of his work literally revolves around the world of spheres and SpaceMakers. Due to the need to use digital and prints from now on, he produces PROTOTYPE WORKS. These are finished works, but can be reproduced, retouched, enlarged, differentiating the supports and other criteria related to the final phases of the rendering of the work according to, this time, the cooperation and direct collaborations with the buyers and sponsors. A grammar of transparent and applied collage, contemporary and speculating on the future, like an air of Paris or some Spazialismi. To know more about SPACEMAKER and PROTOTYPE WORKS, it is necessary to get in touch with him and share our skills, by sending him a first contact message.
