About The Artwork
François Plumart is away from Dec. 13, 2016 to Jan. 31, 2017. "Van Gogh" was exposed in the Carrousel du Louvre of Paris. I use directly and only, without preliminary drawing, mars black, ivory black and titanium white liquitex paint to create other colors effects. In my portraits, I connect tradition and modernity: I paint on wood panel like 15th century icons (Wood is traditionally prepared with cotton sheet and skin glue and coated with meudon white.) but the modern panel itself I use is lighter than the ancient ones, nearly the same weight than a canvas and ready to hang. This portrait is part of a serie named "aetatis suae," in memory of Renaissance portraits. It was wrote in latin behind or under the figure to give the age of the person on the painting."Aetatis suae 33 Anno (A°) 1886" means "He was 33 in 1886." This is a unique portrait of Vincent Van Gogh, master artist. I created a completely new portrait based on his real face known through the only one photograph of him as an adult. Photograph of Morin in 1886 maybe used by Van Gogh himself to paint one of his selfportraits. This handmade artwork will be delivered with an invoice and a signed certificate of authenticity.

France
Born in 1960 near Paris, France, François Plumart studied fine arts at the Orleans School of visual Arts [Academy of Art and Design, Orleans.] After years of research on the media and techniques of the old Flemish masters Van Eyck, Rubens and Van Dyck, he acquired a passion for portraiture, which was considered for centuries as a major form on the path to mastery of painting, but which, after 1945, lost ground to photography, an art considered more modern. Beyond an opportunity to delve deeper in his original explorations on the color effects of black and white painting, and the study of opalescence which Goethe himself never could theorize, portraiture represents for François the sharing of strong emotions; for this art form is a social connection, each portrait having an individual history, sometimes happy, occasionally sad, linked to family. François reduces the palette to a minimum, with no mixing. He uses exclusively titanium white and various blacks selected for their specific qualities, in layered glazes. Using wood panels he prepares according to methods used since the Middle-Ages, he works directly, with no preliminary sketch, using warm and cold tints and other color effects generated exclusively from black and white, without the usual adjunction of other colors. The originality of François’ work is recognized by ADAGP (Société des Auteurs dans les Arts Plastiques et Graphiques).
