Chantonnements - Geoffroy Pithon
Humming in colour.
In Chantonnements (Humming), Geoffroy Pithon translates a melody into an image. He captures the sensation of a tune stuck in your head—repetitive, catchy, and joyful—and puts it on paper.
Think of this book as a piece of visual jazz. Pithon’s black lines dance across the page like musical notes, playing over a background of bright, shifting colours. It feels spontaneous, rhythmic, and full of energy.
Part of the Les Confidents collection, this pocket-sized book is designed to feel intimate—like peeking into the artist’s private sketchbook. There is no strict story to follow; just a hundred pages of colourful improvisation to brighten your day.

About the Artist
French artist Geoffroy Pithon traverses the boundary between graphic design and fine art. A graduate of ENSAD Paris, he initially built a career collaborating with houses such as Hermès before devoting himself fully to painting. Pithon works primarily on paper rather than canvas, using hand-mixed pigments to create compositions defined by vibrant energy and spontaneous improvisation. His practice is characterized by an unwavering sense of optimism, often incorporating handwritten phrases at the bottom of his works to add a lyrical, poetic layer to his exuberant visual language.
