About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

The Big Fat Boy

France

Frederic Camilleri, also known by his alias The Big Fat Boy, stands as a contemporary French artist known for his spontaneous and instinctive approach to art. Drawing inspiration from raw and primitive artistic styles, his work is often likened to that of iconic figures such as Basquiat, Robert Combas, and Hervé di Rossa.

The moniker "Big Fat Boy" traces back to Frederic's childhood experiences. As an overweight child, he endured ridicule and taunts from his peers, an ordeal that left a lasting impact on him. Determined to overcome these challenges and reclaim his identity, Frederic embraced his size and turned it into a source of strength as he matured into adulthood.

Choosing to sign his work as "Big Fat Boy," Frederic infuses his art with a sense of humor and playfulness. His pieces often feature caricatures of characters from his personal life, depicted in comical and offbeat situations. Through his artwork, he offers a lighthearted perspective on everyday experiences, injecting humor into mundane moments.

Despite the adversity he faced in his youth, Frederic channels his past struggles into a creative outlet, using art as a means of self-expression and empowerment. Through the lens of humor and satire, he invites viewers to reconsider their own perceptions and find joy in the absurdities of life.

In embracing his identity as The Big Fat Boy, Frederic Camilleri celebrates individuality and resilience, transforming his personal narrative into a source of inspiration for others. Through his distinctive artistic voice, he challenges societal norms and encourages acceptance of oneself and others, one whimsical creation at a time.
