About the Item
Organique is a unique oil and acrylic on canvas painting by contemporary artist Mathieu Piffeteau, dimensions are 100 × 81 cm (39.4 × 31.9 in).
The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
he artist employs a distinctive technique built on fragmenting the act of painting: he works stroke by stroke, square by square, line by line. Each line shifts subtly in tone, creating the colour gradations that produce the illusion of light. This repetitive method demands exceptional precision and patience, with each piece requiring several weeks or even months to complete. Although the process is carefully planned, unexpected effects can emerge through experimentation and occasional errors.
Mathieu Piffeteau works with every colour except red; in this particular piece, he chose to concentrate on magenta. The painting reveals a luminous “blur” effect—an optical illusion born from the artist’s use of short colour gradations. The viewer may perceive the glow of an artificial light source, such as neon or a lightbox, radiating from within the work.
Piffeteau’s abstract paintings explore light diffusion and optical illusion through a refined interplay of simple, universal geometric shapes (circles, squares, triangles) combined with meticulously layered oil colour gradations. The result is an entrancing composition that radiates energy, inviting the viewer into a moment of pure aesthetic contemplation—a deeply personal sensory experience.
“For me, the viewer is as much an artist as I am. They participate in the artwork, seeing it through their own perception and feeling something unique. That is the purpose of the work.” — Mathieu Piffeteau.

Mathieu Piffeteau was born in Nantes in 1982 to a surrealist painter mother and a topographer father. Certain family visits to museums had a profound effect on the young artist: he marvelled at the imaginative power of Salvador Dalí at the theatre-museum in Figueras and was amazed by the incredible optical illusions of Victor Vasarely at the eponymous Foundation in Aix-en-Provence. At the same time, he admired the perfection of his father’s drawings at home, developing his own taste for precision and geometry. The shapes on which his canvases are based are now created with the compasses and rulers of his topographer father. Mathieu Piffeteau has been a self-taught painter since the age of 20. However, his work at the time had nothing in common with today’s: figurative, rapid and instinctive, it was an outlet for his feelings about injustice and violence in society. After completing a master’s degree in sociology, he moved to Australia to live in the Aboriginal community of Wugularr (Beswick). There, he took part in the production of works that were halfway between art and craft, and he was marked by this extremely repetitive and time-consuming traditional painting, subject to strict codes. Back in France, he moved to Biarritz to pursue his passion for surfing and worked in the construction industry as a rope access technician. Following an accident at work in 2018, he decided to devote himself to painting and joined a collective studio. A feeling of powerlessness and frustration in the face of the problems of our world led him to abandon figurative representation. Mathieu Piffeteau became interested in light and optical effects, subjects on which he would later focus his artistic research. Motivated by a strong desire to exhibit his contemporary paintings in a public place, he prepared a very ambitious personal project to show his works in the Sainte-Eugénie crypt in Biarritz. Four years later, in 2023, he inaugurated his first solo exhibition with 53 canvases of various sizes created especially for the spaces of this fascinating venue. Between gallery exhibitions and increasingly immersive installation projects, the contemporary painter continues to question the role of the artist, his relationship with the observer, and the impact of our culture and society on contemporary art. “It’s not about intellectual representation, but a sensitive approach. My intention is to create a sensation by mixing shapes and colours.”

Pink, from the Inevitable Feeling Series, 2016

Misha Milovanovich
Pink from the Inevitable Feeling Series, 2016
Acrylic & oil pastel, ink, enamel and celulose paint on canvas.
72 x 59 cm
Hovering between painting, drawing and watercolour sketches, her new work represents a form of personal expression that is less concerned with the impact and novelty of popular culture and more about the quiet uncovering of emotion. Her trademark organic forms are still present though now they are empathetic rather than explosively joyful. The colours are softer, somewhat washed out and hazy, as if half-perceived or remembered. The colour palette and the energy of the mark making reference to the now buried source material - abstracted Hentai illustrations, Japanese manga-infused depictions of male dominance, rape and power fantasies. The never-satisfied, always distracted state in which this dislocated field of sexual aggression persists stands in for our instantly redundant, surface only culture- transactional, bullying and ephemeral.
Her paintings are sensorially rich and and yet muted, the masses of fleshy intersections and writhing calligraphy feel like they are moving out of the immediate present and floating up out of time.
They are soaked in the in nuances of early modernism- Klee, Miro and Matta. She explores emotive, expressionistic tender spaces in these lyrically rendered conceptual paintings - densely layered works that operate in the enigmatic gaps between rational structure and spontaneity. Misha also echoes Kandinsky and his sensuality of musical movement, evoking his concerns with the spiritual, all emerging naturally from the rich soil she has carefully laid down in her previous work. The language and texture of her materials are important to Misha who prepares her own pigment- paying great attention to form, surface and the moment-to moment physicality of her practice.
Misha Milovanovich is a Belgrade-born artist living and working in London.
Misha works across several mediums, from sculpture to painting and live art. Characterised by vivid colour, optical movement and energetic visual cadences, Misha's visual work fuses a diverse repertoire of images and forms. She often features discarded shards of consumerism - unloved icons of disposability and careless consumption.
Misha's work is often a symphonic abstraction. Her colourful, densely layered works are held in a state of tension between order and chaos, rational structure and spontaneity. She combines depth and surface relief, orchestrating bold contrasts of form, texture and space in her pictures. An intimate colour palette of bodily fluids - red, pink, white, black, yellow and brown - animate the writhing forms and the refracted memories of cartoonish cultural production.
A cultural polymath, Misha is constantly engaged in observing society and it’s distortions of desire, lust and attitudes to the body. Traditional techniques have been studied and absorbed and although her work is partly conceptual, it's execution always reflects these hard won technical abilities. Misha's main subject matter is emotion, so naturally her work is highly personal and biographical in ways that create a direct, emotional response from the viewer. Empathy and the universals of human experience - passion, nostalgia, desire and disgust are inescapable in her work.
Misha is herself a ‘displaced’ person, having left Serbia for London in her late teens she still carries within her a ‘stranger’s perspective’ and perceives the world as an outsider, someone ever alert to the non-verbal subtleties of communication.
Misha's artistic progenitors include her mentor Martin Kippenberger, Wassily Kandinsky and Phillip Guston as well as contemporary artists Gilbert and George, Keith Tyson, Robert Pruitt...
