Christophe Pillault

 

 

Imaginaire

Acrylic on Canvas

20.75" x 28.75"

1996

 

Pillault was born in 1982 in Iran. he is a savant and needs assistance in doing simple task such as walking or feeding himself, but he does excel in art. He started painting in 1993 when his teacher discovered his wonderful ability to paint. He is unable to speak, but does communicate through his paintings. I choose this artist because it is so wonderful to see what someone that utilize a different part of the brain can create. All of the info was found on the Henry Gregg Gallery page.
