“I paint spontaneously and intuitively.
I apply colors according to my impressions of the nature that surrounds me, its transient atmospheres, the dynamics of its changes, its lights, its smells, its plants, its stones, its soils.
Each work materializes between structuring and improvisation through successive accumulations of material-color. The coverings are more or less thick, smooth and shiny, liquid or granular depending on the addition of marble powder or sand.
One after the other, each layer freezes a given time: the deposit of the layers of paint imitates the geological formation of nature and the structuring of human memory.
Constantly evolving, the painting* is formed, so to speak, by concretion and constitutes a record of successive pictorial times (the stages which led to the painting that I show to the public).
It offers the viewer an imaginary and fictional landscape whose genesis allows us to question the impermanence of reality."
*The small format of the paintings (15 x 11 cm) refers to that of photographs, memories of a past that constructs the present.
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
