ADOR Experience art gallery

Thime, whose real name is Thierry Ménéchal, is an artist originally from Dordogne and currently based in Bordeaux, describes himself as a curious and creative autodidact. After a career as Sales Director in a large international group, he decided to change course to follow his artistic passion.

His artistic career took a turn in July 2015 when he discovered a new pigment-based technique while on vacation in Saint Martin. Inspired by a painter friend, he immersed himself in abstract art, considering this visual language to be the most seductive. Her artistic approach is based on three main axes: the use of pigments for effects and transparency, the use of oil for materials and reliefs, and the exploration of textured materials or linen sheets to cause movement.

He works with a knife, adopting a constant spontaneity in his gestures and movements. His artistic expression reflects his relationship to time, with rapid and obvious movements on some of his canvases.

Inviting everyone to plunge into their own imagination, THIME offers a unique artistic experience where each painting is the result of snapshots capturing doses of pigments, movements of matter, color choices, moods of the day, emotions, and feelings.

Jean-Pierre Dussaillant explores varied and fascinating themes through his sculptures and paintings. His works, imbued with conviviality and deeper reflections, are inspired by his environment and mythology. In particular, he draws on the sea and nature to shape creations that evoke life, spirituality and celebration.

His unique approach combines tradition and modernity, with pieces like Bacchus, revisited for our time, and his representations of mythological and religious characters, reinterpreted in a contemporary and symbolic form.
