Richard Tisserant

"Richard Tisserant was born in 1968 in Besançon (25), he lives and works in Lyon. Graduated from DUMST (Diplôme Universitaire des Métiers du Spectacles - Théâtre) at the University of Besançon in 1991, he worked as an actor until in 2008 with independent Companies, National Theaters and National Scenes. He mainly works on the repertoire of contemporary writings. At the same time, he trained in scriptwriting, character construction, the study of behavioral typologies and Brief Therapies (systemic analysis). Today, painting and Art therapy are his main activities. He devotes himself, as an autodidact, to painting by exploiting objects of his intimacy, his fingers, wooden sticks, Indian ink, tea, chalk, acrylic, oil, found and chosen papers, the bodies of loved ones and also those forgotten. ”As a synthesis to all the real or fantasized characters that I have crossed or created, I expect ache to restore an emotion, a sensation in a look. I try to return their bumps to the faces that we would like smoother, a poetry of breakage and tormented lines where strangeness and disproportion make us of another beauty. »LES HABITS ROUGES: acrylic and Indian ink. The characters are in Indian ink made with a wooden stick. LES URBAINS BONHOMMES: acrylic. Like the “Yamakazi”, they are string figures moving in cities, they play with buildings. They were born from a sponge error… They are made with a sponge and acrylic pencil. "
