Emile Orange

Emile Orange, who lives and works in Caen, uses a figurative lexicon influenced by photography and cinema to reinterpret his daily experiences. He creates narrative images where the light of electric illumination blends with that of a low sun. Color is an essential element in his work, allowing him to express both his fascinations and anxieties.

The use of fluorescent pigments makes his paintings difficult to reproduce; they can only be fully appreciated in person. His references range from the silence of Edward Hopper, the intrigues of Jacques Monory, to the vibrations of Nina Childress. In essence, he transforms the small details of his life, giving them an almost cinematic grandeur.
