Biography

“My painting is instinctive, it is uncomfortable or even impossible for me to talk about it.”Figures of chaos manifest themselves in the work of Arnaud Castagne, disrupting our peaceful and calm daily life. Characters in suspense, antagonizing, hurting, waiting for a response, relief or quite simply, the hope of another humanity, faceless, without life or death.A strange atmosphere which emerges through the gaze which is both empty and filled with questions, melancholy or perhaps rage. An explosion of somewhat heterogeneous sensations that tear the skin off its characters.However, these little creatures are not our enemies, they are there, worried, alone, waiting for a distant hope, or a company. We are welcome in this sensitive and deep world of its dark characters, fearing the light, finding refuge in the darkness.
