1985年,查尔斯·马顿创造了他最初的 "地点重构",由一堵或两堵墙限定的虚构空间,目的是拍摄它们,然后在获得的印刷品上绘画。两年后,他创造了他的第一个“盒子”,由三个隔墙和一个窗户构成的立体透视模型。它们如同拥有大量精确细节的观察箱,有些还加上了假的镜像或镜子组来增强空间感。很快,查尔斯·马顿认为这些“盒子”本身就自成媒介,与绘画、素描、雕塑和摄影一样,成为他创作主体的一部分。
In 1985, Charles Matton created his first "reconstructions of places", fictitious spaces delimited by a single wall, sometimes two, with the aim of photographing them and then painting on the prints obtained. It was only two years later that he created his first boxes, dioramas presented between three partitions and a window. It has observation boxes with a profusion of precise details and those that multiply the spaces with false mirrors or sets of mirrors. Very quickly, Charles Matton considers these boxes as a medium in their own right, in the same way as painting, drawing, sculpture and photographs, which will participate in the thematic meshing of his subjects.

关于艺术家
直到1983年,查尔斯·马顿举办了他20多年来的首次展览“Séductions Utopiques”,展览引发了人们对马顿的极大兴趣,使他重新回到了艺术舞台的前沿。1987年,他在巴黎东京宫(Palais de Tokyo)举办的同名个展上首次展出了他如今著名的“盒子”,以独特的 "包围策略"最终汇聚出他作品连贯的复杂性。
90年代后,马顿的作品先后在蓬皮杜艺术中心(Centre Georges Pompidou)、巴黎美院和一些巴黎画廊举办了展览,并被纳入法国、美国、日本等地的重要私人收藏。
2008年,查尔斯·马顿因肺癌去世。马顿的妻子Sylvie Matton作为其遗产管理者先后在伦敦和柏林为其作品举办了大型回顾展,并于2022年将代理权授予杜梦堂,继续推广查尔斯·马顿的作品。
Details of The Painter's Shadow II | 画家的影子 II (细节)
Charles MATTON (1931-2008) had multiple identities during his extensive artistic career: artist, illustrator, writer, screenwriter and film director, working in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, photography and video, etc.
Born in Paris in 1931, Matton started his artistic career with painting in the 1950s. Although his figurative expression was at odds with the prevailing abstract mainstream of the Parisian art scene at the time, he always followed his own path. In 1960, the artist held his first retrospective at the then prestigious Cercle Volney in Paris. He then chose to stop exhibiting publicly but continued his practice in painting, sculpture and photography. During this time he achieved equally impressive success in illustration and filmmaking.
It was not until 1983 that Charles Matton held "Séductions Utopiques", his first exhibition in over 20 years, which sparked great interest and brought him back to the forefront of the art scene. Then, in 1987, his major solo exhibition was held at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, in which the artist first showed his now sought-after 'Boxes', each participating in his "strategy of encirclement" and all fitting together into the coherent complexity of his work.
Since the 1990s, Matton's work has been exhibited at the Centre Georges Pompidou, the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and several Parisian galleries. His work has also been included in important collections in countries like France, the United States, and Japan.
Charles Matton died of lung cancer in 2008. Sylvie Matton, the artist's wife and trustee of the estate has collaborated with institutions in London and Berlin in organizing major retrospectives for the artist, and in 2022, granted representation to DUMONTEIL to continue promoting Charles Matton's work.
