Ahead of his solo show with BEERS London later this year, we take a look at French painter Florent Stosskopf in today's A Portfolio. As BEERS points out, "Florent Stosskopf is a self-taught painter based in Brittany, France, whose work deftly subverts traditional art-historical themes and archetypes through a contemporary perspective, reminiscent of Jonas Wood, Guy Yanai, Hillary Pecis, or Paul Wackers. Through the use of bright colours and razor-sharp line-work, his complex still lives and floral scenes borrow from the annals of Classical Antiquity, the Baroque movement, and Modernism as well as his own repertoire of imagery."
FLORENT STOSSKOPF (1989, Rennes, France) is currently based in Brittany, France. The self-taught young artist holds a BA in Web and Graphic Design and an Advanced Technician Diploma in Communication from L’école Multimedia. Solo exhibitions include: I Feel Like Pablo, Gärna Art Gallery, Spain (2023); The Diaries of a Painter, OTI Gallery, Hong Kong (2023) and; Eternal Flowers, BEERS London (2021). Group exhibitions and fairs include: Future Fair New York with Duran Mashaal Gallery (2022); Karen Gallery, Australia (2020); Antigalerie in Paris (2019) and; Master of Botanical.
