Timothée Bocage began painting in childhood alongside his paternal grandmother. His youth was immersed in colors and a variety of forms—on canvas, paper, pottery, and cardboard. His grandmother wished to pass on her passion for color. After returning from the Dunkirk Carnival, deeply moved by the vivid colors and emotions, he decided in 2016 to make his passion his life path, refining his technique through the skills acquired at art school.
He started with abstract portraits influenced by great masters such as Picasso, Miró, and Basquiat. Timothée then briefly explored palette knife painting and held his first exhibition of colorful portraits. Geometry soon caught up with him, inspiring him to explore its shapes against black backgrounds, working with contrast to reveal intense colors through figurative compositions.
Today, more than ever, color is central to his abstract works. He plays with the layering of volumes and hues, all structured by sharp, clean lines.
