“it has been said and repeated a painter is a witness, who witnesses in colour, and this makes his evidence attractive. even when he seems to cheat, whether it be through dandysme, calculation or contempt of his contemporaries, he is still telling the truth in a certain way: it is not him, it is his epoque, that is not frank. but gigon does not cheat. he is too spiritual to do that. destiny has placed him in a time of transition where the atomic centrifuge has scattered the last rays of light of impressionism, while little by little, the uncertain lines of a new world are being drawn, still in a state of vapour or project. at this crossroad, gigon gives witness of continuity of the spirit, and the light in his work comes as if through the folds of a certain which has been half opened onto another world. there is something apocalyptic about his vision of heaven and earth. but is not that the time we are living in ? and the apocalypse is not an end, it is the beginning of something else, a totally new era, for which gigon already proposes the indestructible elements of his faith.” andré frossard, author († 1995).
