Description
In Départ de la Volvo Ocean Race, Alain captures the intensity of a seminal moment: four sailboats surging forward, carried by a brisk breeze toward the vastness of the ocean. The hulls slice through the surface in a taut forward motion, while the sails stretch into long vertical lines that give rhythm to the composition.
The scene oscillates between figuration and abstraction. The silhouettes of the boats are suggested through a interplay of deep blacks and greys, firmly anchoring the structure. The sails, crafted from paper collage, reveal a pleated, almost organic texture that catches the light and conveys the tension of the wind. This living matter gives the surface a subtle and sensitive vibration. Sand, integrated into the canvas with broad and graphic gestures, introduces a mineral dimension. It evokes the power of the elements, the swell, and the invisible energy pushing the yachts out to sea. More than a sporting scene, this work celebrates momentum, commitment, and the harmonious confrontation between man and the elements.
Presentation
Painting is a material and spiritual journey that I take around my first passions, mountains, water, sailing, sea and music. Since my beginnings in 1974, I have trained with other painters. First very inspired by the vibration of colors in the Impressionists and the Fauvists, I turned in the 80s to watercolor, whose transparencies I appreciate.
Finally around the 2000s, I discovered contemporary painting and mixed techniques opening up the field of possibilities. Indeed, by preparing my paintings with collages of paper and sand, I create textures where the paint, very diluted in the manner of watercolors, reacts by drainage or by diffusion to leave its own mark. By the gesture, I print the energies. By the softness of the transparencies and the relationship to emptiness, I register my emotions. Each painting thus invites to a poetic journey.
