Passionate about graffiti since his adolescence, he has developed his lettering and visual signature in abandoned spaces. A practice motivated by aesthetic exploration rather than rebellion: a search for supports and artistic playgrounds. Simon Poter is now very present on the Lyon urban scene, in full expansion and proving to be particularly stimulating.<\/p><p>His active life has focused on graphic design, having studied applied arts and then at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon. After gaining experience in advertising agencies, Simon Poter established himself as a creative graphic designer, while his mural practice evolved towards post-graffiti. These two parallel aspects of his work then became more explicitly intertwined in a pictorial research that unfolds a geometric abstraction of simple forms that is tensioned kinetically by contrasting stark colors: dynamic compositions that characterize an acid pop visual identity. This striking plastic signature is now instantly recognizable and has earned him numerous requests for in-situ interventions in public spaces, either individually or in conjunction with street art festivals. He has notably participated in editions of Peinture Fra\u00eeche Festival, Le Mur, M\u00e9caniques Urbaines, and many other events. He has carried out numerous public and associative projects to enhance public space, offering everyone accessible art that enchants the places we pass through every day.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aedb9af elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aedb9af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-1024x658.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15611\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-1536x986.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-2048x1315.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-abstract-city-2023-600x385.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-639610d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"639610d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/en\/boutique\/abstract-city-2023\/\"><em>Abstract City<\/em>, 2023<\/a><br \/>Acrylic on linen canvas<br \/>Unique work, signed<br \/>H80 x L120 cm<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-57b0dc39 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"57b0dc39\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28323059\" data-id=\"28323059\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15336315 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"15336315\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A mural creation Poter x Quai 36.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a112f01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a112f01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Simon Poter had the opportunity to collaborate with the art production house Quai 36 as part of the architectural project Entract\u2019 for the construction of the ArtChipel residence in Garenne-Colombes in 2020, proposing a monumental fresco designed as a vibrant graphic rhythm of color pulses, where the forms would have replaced the notes. One cannot help but draw a parallel with Pietr Mondrian\u2019s passion for jazz and boogie woogie, a passion that inspired some of his paintings from the New York period, with constructions of colored lines evolving in dynamic equilibria with the discovery of free rhythms. Mondrian indeed conceived jazz as a musical equivalent of pictorial neoplasticism. The abstract pattern project by Simon Poter x Quai 36 is rooted in this rhythmic proximity. The mural accompanied the construction period until the end of 2021. The all-encompassing format immediately inspired the artist, who deployed his fresco in the manner of a musical score, between the linearity of repetitions and improvised breaks, in colorful sequences that are particularly captivating for the eyes of the residents and passersby. Quai 36 represented an essential reference in urban art production for Simon Poter, who was very enthusiastic about this immersive experience with the teams. A friendship was formed and he is delighted to be returning to Quai 36 this spring 2023 in partnership with the Hatchikian gallery for the show duo Jumpin\u2019Colors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-169c655 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"169c655\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b0a7cd8\" data-id=\"b0a7cd8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18723f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"18723f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Enthusiastic collaborations with iconic brands and labels.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4a4c3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e4a4c3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Alongside monumental in-situ projects, his career as a creative graphic designer has led him to collaborate with several iconic brands, which have approached him with a clear brief but with respect for his visual uniqueness.

His small-format compositions for gallery displays take up his geometric style of bold shapes and colors, sometimes with a nod to the origin of his graffiti career: the Poter lettering can appear more or less explicitly in his assemblages, however, evolving towards a more refined typography. However, the need to add this calligraphic signature has faded as his artistic identity and recognition have been affirmed by the uniqueness of an arithmetic play with shapes and colors. Today, it is the studio work that takes a prominent place in the artist\u2019s path. The transition from the bomb to acrylic for small formats offers the possibility to create one\u2019s own colors, although Poter always works with a limited palette, with a predilection for yellows that appear almost systematically in his planes, roses, turquoise and blues. The paintbrush brings a subtlety and precision that the bomb does not allow to be achieved. The work in the studio thus requires the need to push the aesthetic proposition further. Poter works from maquettes that he creates in order to visualize in advance the final result of the work, the effects of rhythms, patterns and color associations. In general, the artist needs to give himself a structure, a framework to initiate a creation. The sketch is an essential step in the research process. Over time, he tries more and more often to use hand-held techniques to open up a part of improvisation and spontaneity in the creative act. A way of combining rigor and abandon to play out one\u2019s own plastic score.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de15a49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"de15a49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"846\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-846x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15639\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-846x1024.jpg 846w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-768x929.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-1269x1536.jpg 1269w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-1692x2048.jpg 1692w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-simon-poter-white-variation-2023-600x726.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 846px) 100vw, 846px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d162981 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d162981\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/en\/boutique\/white-variation-2023\/\"><em>White Variation<\/em>, 2023<\/a><br \/>Acrylic on canvas<br \/>Unique work, signed<br \/>H150 x L120 cm<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-29c934c1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"29c934c1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-68ae950c\" data-id=\"68ae950c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43aa159 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"43aa159\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Poter's works are in the tradition of geometric abstraction and concrete art.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5928a9c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5928a9c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"x_p2\">Poter\u2019s works are eminently contemporary, in keeping with the codes of their time, boasting a resolutely pop spirit; yet they can be placed within a more timeless movement that has spanned decades since the 1920s. His language of abstraction finds its origins in movements that share a common tendency to translate purely plastic questions into explorations of the relationships between line and color, creating tensions between forms, axes, and geometries, and effects of repetition of motifs: a formalist art of fragmenting planes that showcases the dynamic power of color. The Bauhaus and Kandinsky, through their aesthetic of pure forms, fluid designs, and bold colors, remain sources of inspiration for Simon Poter. His geometric abstraction places him within the lineage of concrete art with its De Stijl influences, which claims this clear and rational universality. The rhythmic punctuations of lines and colors orient the gaze towards the materiality and objectivity of a pictorial approach stripped of any introspective subjectivity as well as of the metaphorical or conceptual dimension. Concrete art claims a form of radicality of abstraction, which is no longer referred to a reality but constitutes a common, autonomous and self-referential language. Painting is conceived as pure creation, an arithmetic composition. In the 1930s, the manifesto of concrete art stipulates that the works must be entirely elaborated by the mind before execution, outside of external symbolic data. The pictorial element, in this arrangement of forms in planes, thus has no other meaning than itself. Some of Simon Poter\u2019s compositions could also be compared to the characteristic vibrations of op art, coming from the movement by means of rhythm and illusion effects. Vasarely is among the artist\u2019s references who, in retrospect, sees the similarities between his works and the pieces he discovers during his museum visits. Sometimes it is the viewers who suggest such connections: he remembers a visitor who pointed out an obvious affinity between his work and Serge Poliakoff\u2019s, for example.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98d955c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"98d955c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-1024x700.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15831\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-1536x1050.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage-600x410.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hatchikiangallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/hatchikian-gallery-quai36-exposition-jumpincolors-simon-poter-vernissage.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-85bc217 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"85bc217\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e303b07\" data-id=\"e303b07\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1562f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e1562f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The exhibition Jumpin\u2019Colors, a colorful and friendly graphic battle with David Bruce.<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7604d6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7604d6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Simon Poter is delighted to confront his work amicably with that of David Bruce at the Jumpin\u2019Colors duo show presented by Hatchikian Gallery at Quai 36. Symbolically, this Parisian exhibition, held in the year of its 40th anniversary, marks a form of review of his creative journey and his pictorial evolution. The works produced for this event will offer a panorama of his emblematic work but also open up some new paths around new elements and original textures to create variations in rhythm. Some canvases will display monochromes in a gradient, including a monochrome in a gradient of white \u2013 an atypical color variation for the artist \u2013 still with geometric shapes, which do not fail to resonate with contemporary works by Klee. The artist also plans to explore the figurative with a canvas depicting a multicolored \u00abPoter City\u00bb stylized with architectural features and elements of urban life \u2013 a city in which one would like to live. He will also present two handmade carpets that take his patterns in the manner of a print, where one will find his signature of shapes and colors: an exuberant intensity of abstract patterns. Poter is indeed very attracted to prints and his approach can very well be extended to the field of interior design and decoration. Furthermore, the work on small formats in the studio has already been an opportunity for him to experiment with the technique of paper collage with overlapping effects, which is clearly in line with his way of composing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9f4765 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a9f4765\"
