Azur Murmurs Painting

French artist living in London and South of France. My works relate to the many impressions I received and nurtured whilst living in South America, China and Europe where I came across extraordinary lands and people including masters. It is these impressions that surface in my oil paintings somehow ethereal. "Alain du Pontavice's multi-layered paintings defy categories. Are they Surreal? Symbolist? Abstract? Form? Yes, all of those things, but none of the labels cover the complexity of the work." Simon Tait, Art critic.
