ABOUT THE ARTWORK

La petite fille aux allumettes, et sa mère. The little girl with matches, and her mother. Contre l'insignifiance. Against insignificance. Paint moments of truth during which the being is revealed, naked as in the days of inexperience. However, the mask, be it flesh, made with hands or paper, or fabric, not least reveals the secret part of the being, its animal side, instinctive, adventurous. It is not there, however, the necessary social mask. Poignant, the face is the major obsession, human face sometimes denied, obliterated, hidden. This is the medium of the oil that expresses it.

Exhibits regularly in Paris and some regions in France, and several european countries. Is collected worldwide. Some of his paintings were acquired by museums in France. Some of his first pictures tributes to the heroic figures of Jazz are in "Love Me" (2000), film by Lætitia Masson, with Johnny Hallyday. His subjects of predilection are the portrait, the body.

Patrick Delaunay is a painter impatient to constantly live new experiences. The artist loves painting, dense, deep oil. The idea of the image that gradually arrives on the white canvas and gently radiates the surface and impose itself on our eyes. His gesture holds and releases, in fervor, the successive layers of painting. The fresh material is worked with passion. Patrick grabs it to divert the meaning. Gradually appear the mysterious images that enchant us. "Moods, feelings, psychic states pass in the brush, participate in the realization of the image : joy, excitement, frustrations, rage, sadness, melancholy", he confides to us ... "(Colette Pagès)
