"Marquées par la publicité et ses slogans, ces peintures hautes en couleurs sont toutefois plus déviantes qu’elles n’y paraissent au début. Hadrien Dussoix s’accorde à dire que ses peintures-textes sont ambivalentes, oscillant entre critique et reconnaissance d’un langage de notre époque."

Karine Tissot (curatrice et critique d'art)

"Very much influenced by advertising and its slogans, these colorful paintings are actually more devious than they appear at first. Dussoix agrees that his painting-texts are ambivalent, wavering between critique and recognition of a language that is of our time."

Artworks

"Mes nouvelles œuvres sont simples directes, radicales et classiques. Dans ces travaux, il y a beaucoup de sujets que je recherche depuis longtemps dans mon travail. Les peintures parlent du processus de l’oeuvre (fini/non fini) qui est une question historique et essentielle."

Hadrien Dussoix

"My new works are simple, straightforward, radical and classical. In this pieces, there is a lot of subjects that I have been looking for a long time. Paintings give us an insight into the artist’s process (finished/unfinished) which is a historical and fundamental question."

"Mes peintures parlent aussi d'appropriation (suprématisme, art géométrique, Mondrian, Bauhaus, Malevich, Albers, Riley, Armleder...) avec distance et nonchalance, de manière radicale. Je fais un hommage machiavélique à cette histoire."

Hadrien Dussoix

"My paintings speak about appropriation in art (Suprematism, geometrical art, Mondrian, Bauhaus, Malevich, Albers, Riley, Armleder...) with distance and nonchalence, in a radical way. I pay a Machiavellian homage to this question."

"Je mixe les images en les détournant, les transgressant, les juxtaposant pour leur donner un nouveau sens. Que ce soit avec des mots, de l’abstraction ou de la figuration, je suis un artiste de synthèse ."

Hadrien Dussoix

"I combine images by twisting them, transgressing them and placing them together to assign them a new meaning. Wether it is through words, abstraction or figuration, I am an artist of synthesis."

"'Mes architectures au spray sont à la fois un hommage et une critique', explique-t-il. [...] L’hommage à l’art du passé passe par le choix du motif, reconnaissable, esthétisant, rattaché à une histoire du goût ennobli. [...] Quant à la critique, elle s’arme par l’emploi trivial du spray associé culturellement à l’art urbain, voué aux marges et longtemps criminalisé."

Karine Tissot (curatrice et critique d'art)

"'My spray architectures are both a homage and a critique,' the artist explains. [...] The homage to the art of the past involves the selection of the motif, which is recognizable, estheticizing, and linked with a history of ennobled taste. [...] As for the critique, it comes across loud and clear through the trivial use of spray paint, culturally associated with urban art, condemned to the fringe, and long criminalized."

"S'il y a un fil rouge dans mon travail, c’est cette tension qui existe entre quelque chose d’esthétique et d’iconoclaste. "

"If there is a guiding thread in my work, it's because a tension exists between something aesthetically pleasing and iconoclastic. "
