Vincent Gild's works are abstract.
His work is close to informal art, which is not a style in itself but more a way of working in the spontaneous.
V. Gild's three-dimensional sculptures and wall panels are made of steel, thick material, a mixture of pigments, oil paint and resin, and whose shapes (impressions, craters, lines, curves, etc.) reflect light from different geometric angles.
By creating reflections that vary depending on the viewer's point of view, Gild seeks to Sacralize light. Thanks to materials such as gold leaf or metallic gilding, light alone takes control and thus becomes the master of the work.
His creations invite us to reflect on the relationship between man and nature, on the strong spiritual bond between human beings and the natural world. Vincent Gild seeks to remind us that the disappearance of this spiritual bond and the disconnection from our natural environment is what leads man to his downfall. His works attempt to reconnect us to the invisible world.
ULTRABRILLANCE, the central concept of my work, is a plastic and philosophical exploration of our contemporary Western societies, which have reached a stage of maximum brilliance, where abundance and sophistication verge on excess. In my work, I highlight this tension between splendor and decadence, between apogee and imminent collapse.
Through painting and sculpture, I use materials, textures and reflections that exacerbate this almost blinding brilliance, symbolizing a civilization at the peak of its material development. But behind this dazzling light, a crack appears: that of a world that, saturated with wealth and progress, risks being consumed by its own magnificence.
My work questions the fragility of these human constructions, revealing the signs of an inevitable tipping point. ULTRABRILLANCE thus becomes a mirror of our times: fascinating, seductive, but also perilously unstable.
For me, this concept transcends the act of painting or creating, and is a way of revealing the world in all its subtlety and power.
ULTRABRILLANCE is not just a critique of Western societies at their peak; it also reveals a deeper rift: the break between man and nature. My creations question this gradual disconnection, this loss of the spiritual link that once united mankind with the natural world.
In a world saturated with technology and artifice, where the glitter of progress masks the underlying collapse, I seek to revive this forgotten connection. My works are not only a reflection on excess and decadence, but also an invitation to reconnect with the invisible, with those immaterial forces that link us to the essence of life.
By revealing the ambivalence of our times - between splendor and decline, materialism and spiritual quest - my work questions our future: can we regain balance before ULTRABRILLANCE consumes everything in its path?
