Guillaume Caron

ENERGIES, DARING AND SUBTLE AND JOYFUL HARMONIES

A lyrical flight of bright and broad black lines punctuates the surface of the canvas. The calm ranges of pale blue, soft pink or orange that they separate then resonate. Rare and delicate accords between warm and cold tones, acid colors and powerful reds, served by the virtuosity of an original construction, manage to create a real enchantment.

After all, as Nicolas Poussin wrote: “The supreme goal of art is delight”.

To discover the work of Guillaume Caron is to enter an imaginary world in which artistic practices are confused. For more than 30 years, this artist, designer, architect and landscape architect, author of hundreds of projects, has always placed himself outside the conventions.

His tireless inventiveness, Guillaume Caron puts it at the service of a vision in which the human cohabits in harmony with his environment.

“After nearly twenty years of studies, observations and artistic projects in the Amazon rainforest, the desire to make my pictorial work an abstract and intuitive approach becomes obvious. If figuration reflects a fixed image, abstraction gives real depth and offers everyone the opportunity to create their environment.

“Convinced by a free and intuitive approach to painting, after a long history of representation, I give myself up without restraint, leaving aside the figurative envelope to release its energy and poetry, I rediscover the original innocence of my writing".
