The blue tree Painting

Benoît is a transmitter, a transmitter of emotions. Self-taught painter, he began his artistic life with figurative painting then naturally slipped towards abstraction, which he defined as "a better playground". In his “traces” series, canvases are born and converse with their creator: he shapes them, observes, searches, makes, undoes, erases, starts over and recycles his canvases. Until the final touch is obtained, he will not be satisfied. This process, exhausting, even exquisitely painful, delivers from time to time "magic" canvases that he could never have imagined accomplishing. On the other side of the stage, because each painting tells a unique story, there is the viewer. Caught up in a dialogue orchestrated by shapes and colors, an evidence emerges: Benoît made us witness to his absolute and mysterious need to paint.
