The strange bestiary. Sébastien Nadin's ermine bridges the gap between Renaissance painting and our world, where beauty struggles to assert itself.
Let's ask ourselves a question: how do we paint Nature? How do we move from Nature to Culture? The animal camouflages itself. It's up to the painter to reveal it, the gaze seeks the target. To paint is to fix, to freeze, when life is movement. But what should we paint? How can we return to realism? Should we be realistic?
The animal embodies all the questions surrounding painting. Whatever the painter does, he will always lack the breath of the moment when the motionless animal becomes pending movement. To paint is to doubt. Nadin doubts, and to reveal the animal, he buries it beneath the branches, thus revealing to us that to hide is to show.

Presentation
After studying at the Beaux Arts de Paris (1997 class) and working alongside the painters André Queffurus and Philippe Lejeune, Sébastien Nadin settled in Sens in the Yonne and opened his studio a stone's throw from the cathedral, the older sister of Notre-Dame de Paris.
His work oscillates between abstraction and figurative, classicism and avant-garde and is structured around the great eternal themes of painting, still life, landscapes, animal art, large allegorical or fantastic compositions...
Each of the cycles developed by the artist gives rise to an exhibition and its catalogue (Galerie Soufflot of the Sorbonne University, Cité des Arts in Paris, etc.).
Among these themes, Sébastien Nadin has composed a series entitled “digital painting".
His latest compositions can be seen on Instagram.
He is currently preparing an exhibition which will be entitled "the strange bestiary" (drawings on paper, acrylic paintings on paper and oil painting on canvas) of which the first works are visible on Artsper.
