Théophile Arcelin

Théophile Arcelin paints with confidence and flair. He approaches a complex composition with a mature eye and his lights are both vivid and atmospheric.

He shows in his painting the human isolated and disconnected from his environment either literally through glass windows or metaphorically through formal means, which are manifestations of the loneliness of modern life. The sharpness of detail and revealing unmodulated light in many works creates tension, the viewer's attention away from the given subject, suggests a lot about their emotional experience.

In this way, the artist's work acts as a bridge between the interest in everyday life and the exploration of mood and existential questions.
