Presentation
Diffraction and introspection. Hervé Le Bis
“Painting must return to its primary purpose, the examination of the inner life of human beings"
Pierre Bonnard
In the world of Hervé Le Bis, it's about painting the inside of everything. his paintings show us an augmented, vibrant and shimmering reality. The strength of the subject is magnified by the touch and the colors chosen. Thus light and movement paint volumes, and inhabit landscapes and skies.
This work questions art. Embracing history, while taking us beyond today. Beyond this present, beyond our daily lives. Painting is a frame, a canvas, colors, shapes and a consciousness And thanks to this consciousness, we go on a silent journey, or as Bonnard said, inside ourselves.
The subject is only a pretext to involve us in the pictorial emotion. Thus in all his paintings, the viewer is carried away by strength, softness and sensuality. The light settles on the beings and the elements and dresses all things with colors. The volumes, perfectly highlighted by the chromatic field, evolve in the space of the canvas in magnificent harmony.
In this painting "The picturesque and the pictorial" by Paul Signac are a bedrock of questions that underlie the work The picturesque is transcended by the pictorial. Either we pay attention to the signified and miss the emotional, or we pay attention to the signifier and get carried away by this silent, omnipresent language.

Analysis of a work by Hervé Le Bis by Francis Parent (critic and art historian)

My current subject, depicts the bull in his temptations and his visions.
Far from the bullfights and new vector of the world where he can intervene through algorithms that solicit other looks on a dreamlike universe.
About the bulls that I painted from memory in my studio, here is a little anecdote on the subject: I live in an old brewery in Strasbourg. The building was built next to an underground Roman road under the road of the Romans.
-200 BC The religion at that time was "Mithraism" of the God Mithras and rituals were performed by sacrificing bulls (sic).
A Protestant church 100m from my house was built in 1903 on the foundations of a Mithras temple!
