Biography


Alain Godon was born 1 November 1964 in Bourges, France, and learned to draw at the age of 11 in Achicourt, France, at the side of his artist uncle. In 1985 he moved to Paris and then to Brighton (England), earning his living as a pavement graffiti artist. In 1988 in the French ski resort of Courchevel, he began the first period of what he refers to as "Infantine Art". By 1989 he had moved to Saint Tropez and started to paint his first oils on canvas. Alain currently lives in London.

Of Godon's art, Jean-Pierre Delarge[1] declares that it is "aligned with free figuration drawing on the caricature figures of his graffiti origins. His representations are simplistic, his colors vivid, his outlines defined by thin black strokes; his figuration achieves contour and definition in the composition of curved and straight lines.

In 2009, Alain Godon founded the "Rendez-vous Annuel des Artistes de Demain" (The Annual Festival for Artists of Tomorrow). The event aims to exhibit up-and-coming artist both to the public and professionals helping these artists to attain a public profile and to access the commercial art world. Nearly 600 participants, representing all schools of contemporary art, will be attending the second festival taking place in Le Touquet in 2010. Through this initiative, Godon hopes to support unknown artists and offer them the opportunity to escape obscurity and achieve recognition.


BildoReliefo


BildoReliefo is Esperanto for a three-dimensional image.

The technique is the creation of Alain Godon introduced to the public in 2008. These pictures are digital ultra high-definition single print editions. The artist transforms his original oil painting into a unique digital work of art.
Considered a creative art, it is a process which combines the traditional art of oil on canvas with digital technology.

By "de-constructing" each element of the original oil painting and then "re-constructing" the picture by adding a shadow effect, the artist creates a three-dimensional impression. Each work of art is unique and original since it is created with its own color nuance. The BildoReliefo is printed by PICTO in Paris. Each of Alain Godon's original oil painting printed as a BildoReliefo series is limited to an edition of ten - each version with its own distinctive color finish.

The BildoReliefo was presented to the public in 2009 at the "Pavillon des Arts et du Design" in Paris by Hubert Konrad, co-founder of ARTPRICE.
