Charles Malherbe

Born in 1969 in Le Mans, Charles Malherbe studied at the Beaux-Arts in Nantes, before emigrating in 2001 to the south of France.

He devotes himself, initially, to the creation of humorous scenes in small windows. He then moved on to other themes from which he drew inspiration from archeology, African and Amerindian art, from ethnological and photographic stories about Asia and Central America. He was able to adapt in his own way different techniques and renderings (sigillated patina, Mayan fabrics, African colors).

From 2011, he began an "almost creative break" and no longer exhibited, paternity and restoration projects oblige, until 2017 when he returned to his studio for good.

If his new series "Collapse" has accents of anticipation, it is nevertheless the continuity of other series which were, for their part, oriented more towards the past.
