Rémi Planche

Rémi Planche was born in 1993 in Chartres in Eure-et-Loir.

His calling came from his meeting with the Russian painter Feodor Tamarsky. As an autodidact, he defines his work as: " The power and the force of the human body - the hands, open window of the human soul - the portraits where the vicissitudes of life are engraved in each of the folds of the face, each look, and expression - are for me many perpetual inspirational subjects..."

Rémi Planche uses a mixed technique based on ink, acrylic painting, and oil painting. Applied mostly by hand on the canvas and scratched in certain locations. Intense in its realization, this technique - with a unique rendering - includes a direct power relationship with the material that sustains its artistic approach.

He represents naked or dressed up bodies in a standby, defending, or fallback position. The faces are absent of his creation so that the idea behind each pose supersedes over the represented character. He also works on male portraits: hard, bearded, designed, hieratic and solemn faces, marked by life's challenges but stronger.

In his creations, the character is always enhanced because even the toughest ideas have to be sublimated.
