Presentation

A child of the “Renault Company", Eric Dabancourt grew up in Mantes-la-Jolie. From a young age, he took up drawing at the Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture de Gassicourt and later he enrolled in painting and life model classes. At 16, he took the entrance exam for the Auguste Renoir technical school, He graduated in Applied Arts, began designing advertising campaigns and at the same time joined a painting studio in Paris. He participated in various group exhibitions in the capital and benefited greatly from working with other painters. Having discovered the work of Giacometti, Soulages and Basquiat, he was inspired by their free approach. Over the years, his interest in drawing strengthened and became key to his quest for the perfect line. In recent years, he has sought out artists who, like him, are looking for the “light" through engraving and drawing.

The line is the driving force, carrying with it a progression, a series of dots obviously inter-connected, moving from seduction to seduction. And what happens to that line? What can become of it faced with the adversity of chance, a blank piece of paper and the capricious movement of the hand? And yet it does become. Eric Dabancourt's work reflects this subtle, skillful, unique and singular metamorphosis. We see it in the practice of this artist who, through his experiences with ink and pen, continually observes the life of the line he creates, a furtive and instinctive birth. Drawing is the first person of the plural leading to the broadest of explorations, uniting us with the other, exchanging, crossing, transgressing, surpassing, embracing. With this multiple line, one line is several. By blending the material object with the actual line, Eric Dabancourt intends to create a dialogue between sensible worlds, to see how far communication can be established. Like a small theatre of shadows and light, obstacles speak to open paths and blend into one, in the struggle of creation, eternally subject to the vagaries of interpretations.
