Pierre Emmanuel Godet: without taking his hands off

Drawing each creator creates in his own way, this is unconditional. Who then one stroke is enough only for his own signature under the picture. The artist Pierre Emmanuel Godet can draw a whole portrait with just one solid line, literally without taking his hands off. The heroes of his work, he makes celebrities. They are world-famous musicians, writers, cult figures and other easily recognized faces of popular people.

Pierre Emmanuel Godet does not have a special artistic education. When he was an engineer in his youth, later a research associate, and at the same time he was always more interested in art. In the beginning, he painted with acrylic paints, then he tried his hand at oil. Today his portfolio contains an extensive selection of bright, colorful canvases. But he managed to achieve popularity thanks to a series of unusual portraits, drawn with the help of a single solid line. Sometimes he made an exception and tore a pencil from the paper, for example - to draw his characters eyes, nose and mouth. But more often did without it. Sometimes his paintings consist of thousands of round doodles and small dashes. Each component of such works is a figure of a man, or animal, or plant, or object - a house, a car. That is, a certain, meaningful symbol, the set of which constitutes a separate plot. The portrait thus becomes both a form and a content. It is a picture in the picture, even, rather, a story in the drawings.

It turns out that the work of this author require more attention than the drawings of any other artists. His work is evaluated not in one glance, but in two stages. First - the portrait itself, and then - the story inside it, which you can not read at a distance. To do this, you need to get closer and look very attentively.
