Memories of Paintings is an experimental video by French motion graphics and creative director Thomas Blanchard, that blends a soothing technicolour mix of paints, oil, milk and liquid soap, all shot in high definition with a Canon 24-105L macro lens , set to music by Bronix. Blanchard’s often surreal, highly colourful works often explore this blend of hyperreality and patterns with unusual elements. Some other favourites:
The Colours of Feelings:
“The Colors of Feelings” is an experimental dreamlike video rocking us smoothly through circular moves. It is also an analogy of feelings such as anger, love, sadness and joy ; they mix and eventually ease.
The visual compositions have been created out of paint, oil, milk, honey and cinnamon.
Monarchy: The Beautiful Ones:
The Beautiful Ones is a poetic track race of a couple which defends their love by travelling in a dreamlike universe illustrating the strength of their passion through different other couples. Allying surrealist images and overprint but also manual creation, the graphic work juggles with several materials such as the painting, the condensation and the ink.
