Technique: Mixed
Vincent Cordo was born in Saint-Hyacinthe in 1972. In 1998, during a stroll in Old Montreal, he met the artist Lysanne Pépin at her street-front studio. This meeting was decisive for the artist, as it ignited his passion for art. It was a work by Toulouse-Lautrec that brought forth Vincent Cordo's iconic subject: women. His artistic journey has defined itself over the years. The artist now exhibits both in Canada and internationally.
Fascinated by the world of wine, the painter delights in taking women from Porto to the Bordeaux coast, accompanied by the world's finest wines and champagnes. On high heels, they sometimes strike mystical poses, sometimes provocative, sometimes charming, but always filled with desire. They blend into your decor in search of pleasure. The absence of a face allows every woman to see herself and identify with the pose and her femininity.
The artist aims to capture the contemporary woman, those who must perform in various spheres; professionals at dawn, mothers at dusk, and lovers at night, for whom time is a luxury. That is why the flowing paint in the works represents time. The barcode signifies that every encounter has its own love story, highlighting the uniqueness of each woman and that she is never taken for granted. Vincent Cordo transfers the matrix of these fine wines onto an aluminum film to add a touch of brilliance and elegance. The viewer is transported into this universe tinged with gentleness and voluptuousness, where the atmosphere is enhanced by the use of various techniques such as varnish, typography, or the insertion of wood.
