Tristan Pigott and the art of reflection"},"content":{"rendered":"

We spend our lives like the weight lifters.
\n<\/span>At the mirror looking at our bulging muscles. And loving it.
\nJust browse through our Facebook, Instagram or Twitter walls.
\nInside them there are only the images that everyone wants to project of himself.
\nThat\u2019s not <\/span>fake<\/span>, not always, and at the same time it\u2019s not true, it\u2019s simply an exaggerated reflection of what we are or we want to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

The misunderstanding is not in the true or <\/span>fake<\/span>, but in the fact that <\/span>is<\/span> mistaken for reality simply remains virtuality.
\n<\/span>People <\/span>don’t<\/span> distinguish<\/span> the <\/span>virtual from the real otherwise they <\/span>would<\/span> not talk <\/span>in certain vulgar and crude ways, would not drink tons of hoaxes and would not serve to the world their intimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

If that was just what it is, if th<\/span>at<\/span> w<\/span>as<\/span> simply virtual, you would not find a table of people looking dazed to their mobile phone instead of talking.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reflected image has become more real than reality.<\/h5>\n

We got lost in the great vacuum of space of the story?
\nCan just one<\/span> like buy us?
\n<\/span>Are we<\/span> intellectually whoring for so little, <\/span>really?<\/span><\/p>\n

These are the questions that the work of Tristan Pigott raise. Oil paintings that perfectly immortalize our historical period, focusing on egotism that leads us to want consistently document our life to others.
\nIt is playful art, satirical, deliberately provocative and sarcastic but unquestionably sobering. It is art in which, like it or not, we are reflected, because we all feel the need, at least for once, to tell our life to others.<\/p>\n

Maybe we got lost in a reflection.<\/h5>\n

Because we are more than what we show.
\nIndeed, we are definitely better than what we show.
\nSocial network took the best part of us and it’s time to take it back.
\nTristan Pigott shows us that art can be able to stop and think the people.<\/p>\n

I thank him because his work<\/span>\u00a0pissed me off<\/span>.
\n<\/span>He moved and shot <\/span>me through the<\/span> heart, and <\/span>this i<\/span>s something that <\/span>not often<\/span> happens to me.
\n<\/span>I hope he will inspire the same in you.<\/p>\n
