Nicolas Chardon

The painter Nicolas Chardon was born in 1974 in Clamart.He lives and works in Paris.He has been exhibiting at the Oniris gallery since 2023."The place of my painting is the painting. My work is based first of all on the observation of what constitutes it materially; the frame and the canvas fixed on it. But this canvas is particular. In fact, my supports are fabrics gingham, madras or tartan, so many colorful orthogonal canvases. The grid of the pattern of my canvases, distorted by tension, is both an elementary physical expression and a particular image. Something is at play there, between the material fact and the iconic fact. Paradoxically, the deformation of the grid is proof that the canvas is well stretched, that it thus offers the ideal flat surface for the creation of a painting. My painting begins at that moment."
