About The Artwork

The Other Art Fair; London March 2023 This painting is part of a series of four paintings shown at the OTHER ART FAIR, LONDON 03-2023 These paintings depict a train journey from New-York city to Washington. I wanted to paint the series like a video: when the scenery goes by in front of your eyes but you don't have time to focus on an image, another one has already taken it's place. I painted the paintings like a video with elements reproduced in the four paintings. The clouds go from one painting to another; the train tracks from painting s 2 and 3 follow the same rule. The tags "5 stars" are reproduced in paintings 1-2 and 3. This painting n°2 depicts one's arrival in a little town in the suburbs of the New-Jersey. These suburbs towns are rather poor, a mix of old buildings, small factories... The atmosphere is quiet, there is nobody on the streets. The town seems empty and abandoned. The style is semi realistic. Some parts are deliberately not painted to convey the idea of void, of a forgotten people. The atmosphere is peaceful, yet represents a little boring suburb. The whole series is a description about what I think is the real USA far from the "golden paved streets". It's an America made of contrasts. The style is figurative but in a post modern impressionism: I want to show an atmosphere not a photograph of the landscape. These paintings are independant but best put together to follow the train journey. (Like a video) Acrylic on stretched linen canvas on wooden frame, protected by a bright acrylic varnish to enhance the colours. ready to hang on a wall.

French figurative painter known for bold colourful urban landscapes. Member of society of SALON D'AUTOMNE Paris Member of the Taylor Foundation, Paris Feb. 2023 PARIS (salon Les Artistes Français) March 2023 : LONDON :THE OTHER ART FAIR August 2023: TOKYO ART CENTER, JAPAN Born in the outskirts of Paris. I live and work in Paris suburbs. Living in a big city for half my life has influenced my work. I have a fascination for cities: noisy, overwhelming and lively, yet hiding people loneliness. I paint mostly urban landscapes: the interiors (shops, cafe, theatre house) full of details and colourful with very few details for the people: they are just part of the scenery. I’ve worked for the theatre for ten years and that experience gave me a love of colours, of framing my subject a certain way. I’m not looking for the exact repliqua of the reality but for an emotion I want to convey in my paintings through colors. My work is made of lots of layers of acrylic on a canvas, quick rough brush strokes and vivid colours. I use acrylic because it’s a medium that corresponds to my character: I’m impatient and this material suits me for it allows my painting a speed, a raw aspect, sometimes violent; I work in a kind of urgency.
