Conjonction Painting

Being an artist is to step up – to make a commitment. At 35, Christophe Lécrivain made the choice to be a painter. Like artist Claude Closky, Lécrivain walked away from creative director jobs at advertising agencies. Although inventive posters, magazines and websites had earned him several awards, his artistic truth dwells among turpentine fumes and the magic of colors on the canvas. His unassailable talent made the way clear to him. Christophe Lécrivain’s art exudes a singular energy. Intuitive and controlled, his strokes scud freely across space, subjugating it. Jackson Pollock’s spirit echoes through his symphonic effusions, and Matta reverberates through his colored frenzies. Generous and vibrantly alive, these canvasses leave no one indifferent. He’s a painter of liberated abstraction. The graphic rigor of his work finds expression in form and construction. Each of Lécrivain’s paintings reveals a whole story to us; a story of rich worlds, emerging. In a playful nod to his background in graphics, he signs his eminently contemporary paintings with a stamp.
