Description

The circle composition and proximity of the characters in this work creates an intimate atmosphere that invites confidence. The circular arrangement of the figures, far from being trivial, suggests a closed and protective space, where exchanges seem to take place in confidence and discretion. This circle, a symbol of continuity and unity, embodies the link between the characters and establishes a visual dialogue.

Warm, earthy colours enhance this feeling of warmth and intimacy. The yellow and ochre palette helps to create a soothing and welcoming setting for sharing moments. The soft and organic forms merge into each other, evoking fluid and natural relations between the elements.

The circle, by its nature, invites proximity, and here it becomes the symbolic place of speech and listening. Each character, by being part of this composition, seems to be not only engaged in exchange but also in receiving, thus creating a harmonious balance between action and contemplation.

Joel Giraud

France  • 1961

Presentation

Joel Giraud was born in 1961 in Etampes. He graduated from the Ecole nationale supérieure des arts appliqués et des métiers d'art in 1983. He was Philippe Lejeune's student at the Etampes School and has been appointed official painter of the Army.

He is particularly interested in painting, and he produces excellent compositions, playing with shapes, rhythms and colorful universes, where he places the human body thanks to his mastery of the living model. In addition to easel painting, he also paints murals for public commissions.

Trained at the Louvre Museum workshops in modeling, he perfected his technique in a sculpture workshop, and then produced sculpture for shows, theater, and film sets. His own sculpture often refers to the human body. His abstract shapes and volumes are present in his sculptures and in his paintings.

Joel Giraud teaches in the sculpture section of the visual arts workshop of the city of Etampes and is also a plastic arts teacher in various schools.
