70s & 80s
Sophie-Gaëlle Martin, or Sofigael M., is a generation X visual artist, painter and draughtsman, born in Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the Côte d'Opale, France.
Her artistic work is characterized by the use of bright and saturated colors, energetic and dynamic, typical of the design and graphic trends of the 70s-80s.
Her heroines and heroes have that je ne sais quoi of decadent and sexy of the "No Future" of the end of the 20th century.
Extrasolar utopias
Amateur cosmologist nurtured by speculative fiction and fascinated by space and quantum physics, the artist, a lover of great journeys and tropical environments, pushes exoticism to the extreme with her extrasolar worlds in pop and electric colors.
The art of the end of the world
Sofigael M. always speaks to us, with a good deal of humor and a lot of poetry, about the end of the world.
The artist paints the portrait of characters who are often disillusioned but always resilient, endangered by the cataclysms that they themselves have triggered, or more prosaically, by the ordinary tragedies and the invisible perils of their daily lives.
The danger is there, the catastrophe is imminent, the tragedy is coming. Risk of tsunami or drought, peaceful and bucolic scene jeopardized by the cat watching its bird friend, plane crash at the end of the holidays, prowlers and hidden rapists, moments of relaxation or tenderness are always fragile and fleeting, suspended. The threat looms.
It is either an intimate or radical end of the world, but in any case the end of a world, the one that is familiar to us.
