Acrymx
ACRYMX, whose real name is Michael Monney, is a French artist born in 1977.
Art from childhood
From childhood, ACRYMX is surrounded by art and loves to stroll in the studio of his grandfather painter and sculptor. He will however study in finance before deciding to devote himself entirely to art, his passion. From then on, he begins to explore the possibilities offered by photography, far from any protocol. He develops a "macro-photographic" approach which deals as much with the production of images as with shooting and focuses on matter and light.
The emotion of abstraction
The work of ACRYMX is essentially about abstraction, whether geometric or lyrical. He is interested in the emotion that color and shape games can have on people. A topic already widely covered in painting and sculpture but still little explored in photography. Thus, using computer tools, the artist tries to "paint" the concrete image obtained and to switch to abstraction to get closer to the effects obtained in drawing or painting.
An emerging artist
Since 2009, ACRYMX has exhibited its work many times in France, Lyon or Paris but also in Tokyo in Japan and London in the United Kingdom.
