Presentation

“To tell the truth, my approach has its source in a world filled with smells, invisible songs, those of birds, the sea wind, the whispers of women. It is suspended from an intimate landscape like the one in front of my house, from this multitude of discreet fragments which tell me so many things ... so many secret, unsuspected, silent things. Often characters pass by, marvel, astonish, listen. I do not represent. I let this nourishing world run through my blood, this assembly of flashes that make up my life, and which will in turn articulate this strange and complex surface which is canvas or paper. I never thought that painting was the representation of any reality. My Masters have always breathed it into the palm of my hands. So I am working on this slow painting, repeating long-standing gestures which, by themselves, already constitute the brilliance of my canvas, this very insufficient brilliance however but which will take on its meaning and its discretion, soon when the painting will forget habits, when it will have filtered and digested the heavy and useless questions. Paint without fixed ideas. Be receptive to surprise. I never add. Painting is a story of subtraction… to remove is not to remove. "Putting just what you need" is my constraint, I who paints by transparency, layer upon layer so that my surprises are astonishment and pleasure. My paintings are "notes" as Pablo said so well, notes that question and excite unique moments. »Henri Guibal Henri Guibal was born on October 30, 1947 in Aix en Provence Studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Aix, workshop V. Bioulès Lives and works in Auvergne Teaches at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Clermont-Ferrand He owns an international course.
