Description➔ Autoportrait 78 (2014)➔ Hand-painted photograph➔ Models are Barthelemy Seng and Florian
Balicco➔ Collection Centre Pompidou, Paris➔ This image shows two men in white and
black, strung over each other in a blue background with white and red flowers surrounding them.

Analysis➔ The artists use the contrast from the blue background and the white and black of the models’
clothes to make the models stand out
◆ Creates balance as well with balancing the dark and light colors on either side of the painting
➔ Framing is also used by having flowers in the foreground
◆ Depth is also achieved by place flowers in the background
➔ Color also conveys a lighter atmosphere by using bright, vibrant colors as opposed to dull ones
◆ Despite black still being used and considered as a traditionally “dull” color, the model’s expression still helps convey the overall theme
➔ Movement can be seen by the angles of the flowers to give them a “falling” effect

Interpretation
➔ I believe that Pierre et Gilles are trying to convey a peacefully, happy bond between the two men
◆ Color and facial expressions portray a happier mood
◆ Due to type of clothing, perhaps they have recently been reunited

Judgement
➔Overall, the piece is fairly well done
◆ Bright colors
◆ Overcrowded
◆ Provides good contrast and shows movement
