Again, like the recent paintings, it's a game with shapes, colors and different mediums, to see where it leads. There are no preconceived ideas.

About the Artist

Christophe Mercier

Switzerland

- Photo: Naples, Italy, March 2019
- Born April 1947, married, 2 children, 5 grand children.
- Graduated in economics, then swiss banker in private banking from 1974 to 2007.
- Started drawing in travel sketchbooks (self taught) at the age of 48 in 1995, and painting much later in 2007 at the age of 60.
- Former "urban sketcher", from 2020, writer of historical novels.

My desire to paint comes from the interest for expressing something aesthetic or gaudy, for finding an unstable equilibrium, for experimenting with different approaches, for renewal, testing, trying.
Even though I’ve done mini-series, I don’t like to stick to one repetitive process. To me, painting is a dialogue between control and letting go and abstraction is of particular interest because it allows us to to express things that would otherwise escape our senses. It’s still a large field, even though everything is supposed to have already been made.
