Jean-Paul Carbonel

Jean-Paul CARBONEL was born in 1954.

Currently he lives and works in the North. He studied science in Paris.

His work is at the intersection of geometric abstraction, constructed art and digital art. This work is related to mathematics, more particularly to geometry, to series, to progressions, to randomness.

He made many paintings, sculptures and drawings.

Some paintings juxtapose multiple surface elements, nested in structures, or arranged randomly, which allows rhythmic color variations according to the construction of the object.

The drawings are made in colored pencil and consist of the superposition or crossing of different screens. The experiment consists in varying the different parameters of the frame.

Several people have testified to his work;

"Her relief paintings are like so many vitaminized music" (Maryline Lefebvre)

“An art carried by a mathematical dynamism. "

“Jean-Paul defines his art as a game between randomness and constantly redefined rules from which ideas emerge, which will give rise to new paintings, sculptures and drawings. Each work contains the germ of another, thus forming an associative chain. »(Federico Maldonado January 2018)
