--> Portraits : Trying to depict expression, a deep sight... 'un certain regard'. Working gesture of brush, contrasts of light and colors. As example, Portrait of rugby men after a tough play. Injured. Personality makes a rugby man despite physical pain. Psychological qualities. Expression and emotion. Colored lines of background to enhance deep contrasts of light and vibrations and movement. Underlying background (abstract parts) serving as fragment, unfinished impression, instantaneous effects. (And use of background as underlying color of skin). Emotion of an expressive pose. Injured face, tough play but stay proud. Visible and energic brush gesture together with contrasted colors. To render the intensity of rugby, an energic, forceful sport for strong personalities. Dramatic impetuosity. (Expression du temperament). Introspection and personality make a portrait.
Series of beardy men through characters like cow-boys, the adventurous one, the mature one, the theatrical one ...
