About the Artist

Joseph Rethlin

France

Joseph Rethlin is a contemporary French painter based in France, whose work focuses primarily on contemporary still life.

A former art collector and dealer, he also worked as a jewelry photographer before turning to painting. His experience with photography shaped his approach to composition, light and the representation of objects. After years of looking at and collecting art, he eventually felt the need to stand in front of the blank canvas himself.

His work is centered on fish, lemons, flowers and everyday objects. He is drawn to simple subjects for their shapes, colors, textures and their ability to become meaningful through painting.

His compositions are deliberately restrained. Forms remain recognizable, while backgrounds are often simplified to concentrate the viewer’s attention on the subject. His approach lies between realism and reduction, with light, color and balance playing a central role.

Through still life, Joseph Rethlin explores the quiet presence of ordinary objects and their transformation into pictorial subjects.

“First there was one fish, then two, then flowers, fruits, vegetables, and finally men.”

Joseph Rethlin is my artist name.


Joseph Rethlin est un peintre français contemporain établi en France, dont l'œuvre se consacre principalement à la nature morte contemporaine.

Ancien collectionneur et marchand d'art, il a également travaillé comme photographe de bijoux avant de se tourner vers la peinture. Son expérience de la photographie a façonné son approche de la composition, de la lumière et de la représentation des objets. Après des années passées à observer et à collectionner des œuvres d'art, il a fini par ressentir le besoin de se confronter lui-même à la toile vierge.

Son travail s'articule autour de poissons, de citrons, de fleurs et d'objets du quotidien. Il est attiré par des sujets simples pour leurs formes, leurs couleurs, leurs textures et leur capacité à acquérir une signification nouvelle grâce à la peinture.

Ses compositions sont volontairement épurées. Les formes restent reconnaissables, tandis que les arrière-plans sont souvent simplifiés afin de concentrer l'attention du spectateur sur le sujet. Sa démarche se situe à la croisée du réalisme et de l'épuration, la lumière, la couleur et l'équilibre y jouant un rôle central.

À travers la nature morte, Joseph Rethlin explore la présence silencieuse d'objets ordinaires et leur transformation en sujets picturaux.
