We could say that there are two David Granges. Why ? Because his practice of painting likes to explore two paths that are at first sight diametrically opposed.

The first, which he calls "symbolic", is made up of flat areas that he outlines with intense black lines. We then think of stained glass whose light would not come from the sun but from the acrylic paint itself like the white of the canvas. He paints there bodies that he mixes with floral, musical or sometimes more esoteric motifs. He also produces "city plans" where the urban suddenly reveals a propensity to partition space and oppress bodies. A tyranny of line that he transcends through the softness and poetry of color.

From this series was born a book, a collaboration with the poet Marie Michèle Mounier who knew how to put words on his images and, as one follows a road and sets off on an adventure of singular landscapes, following the mental paths traced by the painter. 

The other David GRANGE paints "abstractions" where the pigments mingle on the canvas, without partitions, freed from the line to create chromatic effects that can make you think of the interior of certain stones, or those that sometimes form on certain rock walls. It is therefore freedom that guides this other path that the painter explores where he lets the paint express its physical properties and produce patterns that the artist only has to initiate and then contemplate the formation.

From this double practice is born a painting driven by the love of color, whether opaque or transparent, symbolic or geological, organized or liberated. A passion that surveys and builds on one side, and sows to contemplate on the other. Whether it guides our gaze or gives free rein to the movements of matter, David GRANGE's painting reveals itself to be rich in proposals which, if they may seem opposed, are no less complementary.
