BANG Painting

I am a French painter born in 1974, and my artistic journey is a constant evolution reflecting my perpetual quest for authenticity. From 1998 to 2008, I delved into "figuration libre," creating a satirical universe that critiqued our consumer society by portraying penguins pushing shopping carts. I shared my vision through numerous exhibitions in galleries, salons, and cultural centers. In 2008, I took a major turn by settling in Marrakech, leaving behind my "thinking king" and my previous characters. This decision was due to the delicacy of my social satire in the Moroccan context. While remaining true to narrative figuration, I explored the realm of cartoons, pin-ups, and reimagined pop art, with a touch of expressionism, while continuing to convey important social messages. In 2015, my artistic journey led me to Ibiza, where I opened my own nomadic gallery at the hippie markets, exploring urban art and the freedom of expression. Then, in 2020, I discovered Minorca, an island that rekindled my passion for art. I embraced my long-contained attraction to abstraction, inspired by the landscapes, nature, and the island's quality of life. I left behind social critique for a new artistic approach characterized by deliberate, controlled actions and a form of meditation through my creations.
