Abstraction is Blanchard's form of expression, a way for him to discover his inner self, "his window on the infinite" as he likes to call it. Born in Poitiers in 1967, Blanchard attended the Fine Arts Academy where his first influence was the Italian Renaissance.
In 1992, after years of learning the meticulous technique of frescoes and extensive travels to Paris, London, and Canada, he arrived in San Francisco, one of the few truly international cities in the United States.
In this melting pot of cultures, the Asian and latin influence became a source of inspiration for Blanchard on a professional and personal level.
The fusion of these two influences with his early training is what defines Blanchard's work today. Blanchard's hyper-realism technique is a way for him to create forms that are both light and dense, as well as harmonious and penetrating. The search for volumes that absorb into each other is at the core of the artist's work.
Now, back in France where he lives in Nice with his Italian girlfriend and their daughter, the artist wants to show his ethereal relationship with time. He also wants to capture the light and make it an essential part of his paintings, which for Blanchard symbolizes life itself.
