Franck Mugnie

In front of the canvas, the painter is confronted with his reflection wanting to erase time, without being able to master the frenzy of his actions. Fortunately, chance ensures that he recognizes himself at the mercy of accidents.

Artist-painter born in 1960, he does not hesitate to marry the figurative and the abstract. The representation of his painting is an excuse to collaborate colors, material and composition expressed with strength and speed. Participates for 25 years in numerous regional, national and international exhibitions. Has won many awards, animates for 5 years a painting workshop. The formalism of his painting is divined by the entanglement of various abstract forms or materialities.

Although it has been influenced by Nicolas de Staël in its physical materiality, today it tends to be closer to more formal and colorful allusions. He tries an art of space, of infinity by simple features that constitute in almost all his work the border between the universe of colors and that of ideas. The transparency of the pictorial sign must give way to the proliferation of the dough, the density of the material. The layer becomes relief, the color, the very subject of the painting.
