Presentation
Michel Rigel, a French contemporary artist born in 1950, lives in the Paris region. He studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.
A multidisciplinary artist, through his works, Michel Rigel seeks to bring out the world around us from the impalpable.
Catherine Guglielmi, Art critic in Corsica and founder of the Biennale Azuréenne de Cannes, presented Michel Rigel's painting "Crucifixion on five parallel planets" (size 0,89 X 1,46m) at the 6th Biennale in 1975. Michel Rigel was exhibited between the paintings of Picasso and Picabia, and was named Grand Finalist. Catherine Guglielmi asks him to illustrate the Encyclopédie poétique "L'enfant" (Jean Grassin Edition).
Strongly impressed in Venice by the Italian painters from Canaletto to Guardi, Michel Rigel painted a series of paintings that were presented at an exhibition-sale at Richelieu Drouot.
The City of Paris commissioned him to paint a fresco "Anti-perspective", a landscape based on a variation of the Moebus ring, measuring 7.5 x 2.5 m; and the Prefecture of Paris commissioned him to paint a triptych "Bord de Mer", measuring 8 x 2.5 m.
