Villa Chapelet

Monday 31 May 2010

A rare sketch I did during the rare holiday I took earlier this month in Provence. The place was a treasure, we did a lot of hiking.

Hors la forêt

Friday 23 April 2010
J'avance dans la haute pièce, je ne fais que passer, il fait nuit mais sans voir je le sais: là sur ma droite, se dresse fier et droit, le chevalet de bois_ portant ma joie, puisant ma peine. La masse peinte, modelée de sombre, me captive, m'appelle. Les pinceaux absents de mes paumes, de déception grimacent, en coeur s'éplorent: qu'on me retienne! Quelques jours, cinq au plus, quelques jours loin de vous. Je vous blesse, aussi vous aime.

_je n'ai de compagnie plus chère que celle que je délaisse.

Reportage France 3 Aquitaine

Friday 12 February 2010

I have been interviewed by the regional TV during my solo exhibition in Bordeaux. It was the first time for me in front of a television camera, needless to say that I wasn't much comfortable. The babbling must be the stupidest ever and it certainly shows that I'm a little impressed. In the montage, they dared to compare my work with the movie "Avatar". Grrrrr

Photos vernissage exposition

Friday 5 February 2010

Here are some pictures taken during the opening night of the exhibition in Bordeaux. Warm thanks to the many people who came and for all the amazing feedback they gave me!
It was touching to see so many of my friends and relatives gathering in the gallery.

I hope the pictures allow you to see the arrangements of the canvases, and for those who saw the pictures online, to provide a sense of scale for the original paintings.

Well the show is still going on, until March 2nd, 2010, and I hope it'll give a little moment of visual pleasure and reverie to even more lucky bystanders !

Exposition / exhibition

Saturday 16 January 2010

I have been invited to exhibit my work for the first time, in a gallery in Bordeaux. Its owner, Daniel Boulogne, is a remarkable man who has supported artists in various and amazing ways during his life, and I was honored that he accepted to lend me his walls for a month.

The space is small but wide enough to contain 7 of my canvas. I had them framed for the occasion, so that they look cute for their first night out ! In particular, the exhibition will showcase "Tears of joy in the garden of giants", a painting started in 2005 and that I finished only a couple weeks ago.

Lucky french-speaking persons could have a look at the wonderful press release that my friend Leila Joucla (who is a Doctor of Arts) wrote :
Press release - exhibition Zancan - 28.01.10 - 02.03.10

Though most unlikely to happen I'd be thrilled to meet one of the foreigners at the inauguration, that will be held on Thursday, January 28th at Galerie 22 Rive Gauche in Bordeaux, France !
