Luc Josserand

Drawing, Colors, Light, Shapes are the basis of his work, Femininity at the source of his inspiration.

Despite a need to paint characters, which puts his work in the category of Figurative Art, Luc Josserand is very influenced by Abstract Art. We find this influence in the way he treats the backgrounds, often crossed out with scribbles and smeared with colored spots; “backgrounds" more and more present in the work, which even go so far, in extreme cases, to impose themselves and relegate the characters as decorative elements.

A few years ago, Luc Josserand gave up brushes, oil and canvas to experiment with the possibilities offered by digital painting. It is with his new tools - the computer and the graphics tablet - that he will extend the field of his experiments.

Digital painting is dominated by the influence of the “gothic", “fantastic" and “fantasy" universes and the world of video games. Far from these trends, the paintings of Luc Josserand resemble oils by the themes they treat and by their rendering. Few artists have gone from traditional techniques to digital, Luc Josserand is one of them.
