Geoffroy Pithon

Geoffroy Pithon is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nantes, France. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris, he is known for his large-scale paper paintings and immersive installations—his Cabines—that explore the tension between abstraction and figuration, engaging viewers’ instinct to connect shapes with reality. His practice is rooted in spontaneity, fragmenting and reassembling his own works into vibrant, energetic fields where every gesture remains visible. Life is omnipresent in his approach, as he considers paper a “medium for recording gestures and outbursts.”

Influenced by Post-Impressionist movements such as the Nabis and the Fauves, as well as by David Hockney and Pierre Alechinsky, Pithon combines bold color, expressive gesture, and layered techniques to create works that balance immediacy and reflection.

He has exhibited in cultural centers and public art institutions across France, including the Centre Culturel de l’Ouest (CCO) and the Église Saint-Eustache in Paris. His first museum solo exhibition will be held at the Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art in China. In parallel, Pithon has collaborated with luxury brands, most notably Hermès, for which he has designed multiple projects—including ephemeral scenography for a dozen boutiques across the United States.
