| Marc Tigrane | |
)
|
Tigrane was born in 1947, of Armenian origin, and grew in Briançon, in the Hautes-Alpes, where he lived his childhood and part of his adolescence. After a few years in the Var, he went to Paris. From 1967 to 1976, he studied journalism, and began as a press photographer. This was a very eventful period : he started to paint and the museums and galleries helped him to reveal himself as an artist. In 1977, he went back in the Var where, very quickly, he decided to settle for good. Today, he is living and is working in Cotignac, in Provence. |
| About the Artist | |
Tigrane is self-taught, and has always painted, sculpted and exhibited during the last forty years, going through various pictorial experimental phases. From a surrealist inspiration at first, his painting has become a kind pop |

Essenomes Tribe
2006 |
)
|
| A King, a Queen. And always, ten subjects.
Twelve square format paintings (50X50cm).
On this initial principle, Tigrane imagines the codes governing the working and the development of the community of the Essenomes*, of which the rules of the game are:
Principles
The first generation of the Essenomes, that was once created in the artist’s workshop, was first composed of twelve Essenomes. At their top, a King and a Queen, inchanging.
Around them, the ten subjects are destined to leave the original community and to migrate with their buyers.
Each one is then immediately replaced by a new Essenome from the second generation, then from the third generation and so on…
The original tribe is recomposed around the King and the Queen, and swarms its members until it forms a planetary community. The community of the Essenomes is thus in a perpetual expansion and in a permanent regeneration.
Formation of the communities
Any gathering of Essenomes founds a community. By principle, a community becomes a tribe when it is full composed of a twelve painted polyptichs.
Within each tribe, there can be filiations of generations; it is possible for an Essenome to mix with another one, whatever the generation.
Identification of the Essenomes
Each Essenome is provided with a real identity card, composed of photograph and its name, which allows to know its place in the genealogy of the Essenomes and, possibly, its geographical location.
The name of each Essenome is made of a combination of letters and numbers according to a process of identification developed by the artist.
Moreover, each migrating Essenome is recorded and located on Google Earth.
Collection of Essenomes
Each collector can acquire one or more Essenomes, coming from the same generation or from different generation. Thus, he settles a community, that can possibly become a tribe!
If he wishes it, the collector can join the community of the owners of the Essenomes, through bonds and an Internet site which is dedicated to the universe and the current events of the Essenomes. On this website, the collectors can exchange and converse, but also take part actively in the Essenomes development project of a planetary community.

| White cube
The spectator discovers a new kind of collection of portraits. Over the entire length of the walls, several generations of tribes of Essenomes are stretched. The 50cm x 50 cm pictures, fixed on rails, each one representing an Essenome, allow, like in any picture gallery, to discover the pictorial work of Tigrane. Profusion, proliferation… The Essenomes, always increasing in number invade space, producing a visual impact which is sufficient unto itself. |

| Here, the spectator is going to an entirely black room. He penetrates in a different visual universe, in which the virtuality and the interactivity give a dynamic and participative relation to the work, to the story and to the images. From the start, a sonorous environment surrounds the spectator in a particular atmosphere. Several installations can be organized according to the possibilities of the site :
An interactive wall of images : the spectator, with the console he has in front of him, can create a new “tribal-painting” of twelve Essenomes, that he will be able to record and print. All the combinations, already made or not, are driven by a specific computer program.
A connection to the Website dedicated to the Essenomes
A video wall: on this wall, made up of twelve autonomous fractions, photographs, videos, paintings, become animated on a perpetual rhythm of images of current events, places, landscapes broken with information about the evolution of the migration of the Essenomes… Taking the pulse of the world, this real video creation work, regularly updated, questions the globalized vision we have of the world today, between “mixing” and “zapping”.
A holographic program of projection: the lenticular images offer an unusual three-dimensionality to the Essenomes figures, questioning with this little bit magical device the way we understand virtuality through a hologram. |
