Description

This abstract composition plays on a subtle balance between geometry and instinct. The canvas is divided into distinct chromatic zones where turquoise blue dominates the upper part. This block of pure color contrasts with a dense, almost telluric center.
The artist uses acrylic to create rich textures. The knife and the brush alternate to superimpose yellow, ochre, and deep blue pigments. These layers evoke an imaginary landscape or an aerial view of a rocky coast.
Light circulates through controlled transparencies. The bottom of the painting opens up to neutral, sandy tones, bringing visual stability to the whole.
The approach is intended to be free, far from any rigid concept. Visual pleasure prevails here, guided by a search for materials and color harmony.
The work was created in 2018. It presents a marked play of contrasts between smooth surfaces and heavily worked areas.

Presentation

The painter Picard has always had a strong taste for drawing and painting, first in watercolor and now in acrylic.

A career in high-end textiles was combined for several years with a first specific practice very appreciated at that time, namely press and humor drawing as a "freelancer" for various Parisian and regional newspapers.

He then used watercolors to sometimes enhance his drawings or for full-fledged creations.

But it was above all the acrylic on canvas technique that ultimately suited him best and from which he never turned away, adapting it to his personal aspirations. Thus applied with a brush or a knife depending on the desired effects, the palette used was rather limited and consisted essentially of semi-transparent or transparent colors "whose implementation was more restrictive but which suited me better in their final rendering" confides the painter.

Local and then regional exhibitions gradually demonstrated a certain interest among visitors in his work. This was followed by two highly commendable selections for the Salon des Artistes Français at the Grand Palais and that of a major multinational company seeking his artistic needs.

It was in Le Havre that a first gallery hosted his paintings for several years before a second gallery then approached him to exhibit successfully in Saint Rémy de Provence.

The logical next step is now his presence on Artsper where he has the pleasure of presenting his recent acrylic paintings, always free of any constraint of messages or concepts other than that of the essential pleasure of seeing them catch your eye.
