“Few artists can claim to create works that make us feel good with scientific evidence to back them up. This is the case with Guillaume Bottazzi, whose works have been the subject of a scientific study in cognitive psychology entitled “The art of curves in the real world, a psychological look at the works of Guillaume Bottazzi”, which proves that the painter’s creations do the viewer good. They reduce anxiety and produce dopamine.”

“The Miyanomori Art Museum in Sapporo has decided to give French artist Guillaume Bottazzi carte blanche to decorate its 900m2 of facades.

“Games of urban planning – Guillaume Bottazzi, a contemporary painter, has created two giant works to decorate the entrance to a skyscraper, offering up two strange, soft, moving and colourful shapes to the rigid verticals of the architecture. The visual artist, known as far away as New York and Tokyo, creates a playful world of floating and acidulous curves that offers the concrete a beautiful exercise in weightlessness. A nod to the austerity of many cities.”

“Guillaume Bottazzi does not confine himself simply to rounding off the corners of the buildings he covers; his creations use a glazing technique transposed on a large scale to obtain effects of transparency, a play of light and shadow in which the gaze loses itself.”
