Description

In Spring 2018, Habitat and The Other Art Fair curated a shortlist of limited edition artworks by 10 emerging artists and asked their fans to vote for their favourites to be part of Habitat's AW18 Gallery collection. The artworks by the 5 shortlist finalists - Emily Copley, Hippolyte Reininger, Rosemary Chatin, Elena Garcia de la Fuente, Emma Copley and Iona Stern - are all exclusively available here. Born in France, Hipployte Reininger grew up in Marseille and Glasgow. He went to the art school of Marseille ESADMM : Ecole Supe?rieur d'Art et de Design Marseille Me?diterrane?e, graduating in 2015. "This painting is based on a picture I took of a friend in Paris on a night out," says Hippolyte. "As he was dancing I noticed the red light of a neon bouncing on his cheek. I liked the whole scene so I grabbed my camera and took the picture. I've purposefully cropped the image so that he wouldn't be in the middle of the painting - I prefer when not much happens in the middle so that the eye of the viewer can travel more freely. instead of being stuck in the middle of the painting. This painting represents my work very well as we can see several ways of painting used - his hat is nicely detailed; his face is in a nice rm brushstroke and for his top I went full abstract, but it's actually the part I spent the most time. "As I paint I look for a way to represent something in a few brushstrokes, it's what I find challenging, but the fact that I enjoy seeing different styles clash in one painting makes me change my way of applying paint in the same painting. Every painting is a result of what I've learned so far plus a little bit of experimentation. It's a never-ending process.
