ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The public library in London is closed (March 2020) like all public houses in UK, France, Italy, Spain, most of USA... Because I'm not able to travel to my beloved city (London) , I enjoy painting it at home. We not only travel to London, but back in time, in a Dickens' book (but for the taxi at the bottom of the painting)! Dating probably from the Victorian area, this painting is a symbol of the opposition between two worlds: the rich and famous and the workers. Two separated worlds. The opposition is characterized by a strong powerful choice of red colors on the building enhanced by the quasi monochrome milky white of the skies. The strength of the Victorian workers is shown by the rough paint strokes that is synonym of my work. There is a smooth, false immobility in the painting, hiding a real violence. acrylic painting on canvas , I put some pieces of paper on the canvas to give a rough aspect on the canvas : the painting is not smooth, it has some asperities on it. Protected acrylic varnish that enhances the colours; especially the bright red-brick from the wall ready to hang on a wall white ribbon framed on the sides dated, signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity, and an invoice

Figurative Parisian painter capturing the soul of Urban Scenes. Member of society of SALON D'AUTOMNE Paris Member of the Taylor Foundation, Paris Feb. 2023 PARIS (salon Les Artistes Français) March 2023 : LONDON :THE OTHER ART FAIR August 2023: TOKYO ART CENTER, JAPAN Born in the outskirts of Paris. I live and work in Paris suburbs. Living in a big city for half my life has influenced my work. I have a fascination for cities: noisy, overwhelming and lively, yet hiding people loneliness. I paint mostly urban landscapes: the interiors (shops, cafe, theatre house) full of details and colourful with very few details for the people: they are just part of the scenery. I’ve worked for the theatre for ten years and that experience gave me a love of colours, of framing my subject a certain way. I’m not looking for the exact repliqua of the reality but for an emotion I want to convey in my paintings through colors. My work is made of lots of layers of acrylic on a canvas, quick rough brush strokes and vivid colours. I use acrylic because it’s a medium that corresponds to my character: I’m impatient and this material suits me for it allows my painting a speed, a raw aspect, sometimes violent; I work in a kind of urgency.
