Vincent Arnold flattens reality in order to rebuild it. In his murals across Villeray, conventional depth and perspective disappear in favor of flat, structured compositions where color alone creates space. The result is a graphic universe that is instantly recognizable — both distinctly contemporary and strangely detached from any specific era. > “My work stands out through an approach in which depth and conventional perspective are abolished in favor of a flat and structured composition. Bright colors, smooth gradients, and unusual cast shadows divert traditional logics of volume.” Active since around 2005, Vincent Arnold has developed a visual language entirely his own — a form of mural graphic design in which the classical rules of perspective are deliberately bypassed in favor of flat and structured composition. His vivid colors, precise gradients, and unconventional shadows create a fascinating visual tension: the eye searches for depth that the mind refuses to confirm. This visual paradox lies at the core of his practice: presenting an image that knows itself to be an image, embracing its flatness while simultaneously playing with the conventions of three-dimensional representation. It is a reflection on surface and on the codes of painting that belongs to a long artistic tradition — from Paul Cézanne to the Cubism — here reinterpreted within the context of contemporary muralism. His international career is remarkable for its geographic reach: Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Washington, Paris, London, Mermaid Beach, and Art Central Hong Kong — a presence across multiple continents that confirms both the relevance and universality of his visual vocabulary. These gallery exhibitions in such varied cities demonstrate his ability to move his work from the street into more institutional contexts without losing its essential character.
