One stroke of the pen is enough for someone only to sign documents, and the artist Pierre emmanuel godet able to paint a whole portrait one solid linewithout lifting the pen from the paper. In this way, he depicts on paper famous actors, musicians, writers, scientists, characters from cult films and other recognizable faces of famous people. A self-taught French artist, Pierre Emmanuel Godet lives and works in the Spanish capital, Barcelona. At home, he worked as an engineer, a research assistant, but still he was always more interested in art than scientific activity. At first he painted with oils and acrylics, and his portfolio contains an extensive selection of amazing colorful canvases, but the artist was still famous for a series of unusual portraits drawn in one continuous line. Of course, the author makes an exception and tears off the pen from the paper to draw the eyes, nose, mouth and other body parts necessary for the portrait for his characters.
If the fact that the portraits are drawn in one continuous line is not impressive enough, the artist still has something to surprise the demanding viewer with. So, if you look closely at his paintings, you can see that they consist not only of scribbles and lines. Each "karakul" is a figurine of a man, or a house, or a car, or a plant, in general, some kind of meaningful symbol, but in general they make up a separate story. Thus, the portraits by Pierre Emmanuel Godet are interesting not only for their form, but also for their content, and they represent a picture in a picture, a story in a story.
It is curious that the work of this author requires more attention than any other drawings. His work should be assessed not from one, but from two views, in two stages. So, it is impossible to read the story inside the portrait from a distance, and for this you need to take a closer look, come closer. But at a distance, facial features are clearly visible, and it is easy to guess who exactly is depicted in the portrait. You can see the entire series of unusual scribbled portraits on the Pierre Emmanuel Godet website.
