Artwork Themes & Subject Matter

To Stéphane Pannetier Le Hénaff, the Pandora’s Box Saga and Wild Flowers are frequent subjects. The Pandora’s Box Saga is a painting group as matriochka composed of twelve paintings, each interpreting a scourge of humanity, each stacking in the next, the more important the scourge, the smaller the format of the work, conversely the lighter the scourge, the larger the format of the painting and encompassing the previous scourges. This series therefore ends with “Hope” opus 1, 30 x 40 cm, encompassed by the following “Death” opus 2 56 x 56 cm, encompassed by “Madness” 61 x 85 cm, until the last scourge which is “Vice” 4 x 7 m. The subject is the subject, for Stéphane everything is however a way of painting nature, nature being in movement. He tends to paint a moment that flows, hence the use of spherical perspective with transient tonality, which synthesizes a moment by the superposition of a multiple point of view proportional to a subject in movement, from photography, scan, or even from a live model in a equal distance relationship. 

The Wild Flowers Saga on the other hand relies on a poetic femininity in a semi-figurative way with graphite drawing and watercolor inks with classical perspective.
