Jacques Chazel

Very young, drawing was for me a center of interest and a way of exploring the world around me.

I continued to cultivate it as an autodidact during my professional career by approaching painting (watercolor, oil) and sculpture (terracotta). 

Having more personal time, I was able to gradually discover the main line of my creations: symbol.

I explore it along two axes:

the metaphorical image within reach of a message. Anamorphosis where one form creeps into another form.
Anamorphosis: Term usually used for the image distorted by a curved mirror. 

If we admit that the artist's way of seeing, feeling and expressing corresponds to this curved mirror, all of the paintings offered in this exhibition meet this definition.
