Description

Set of 24 original paintings — Acrylic on panels — 30 × 30 cm each

How to give a second to a painting? audiovisually?

In this set, Alex Claude decomposes the movement of a waterfall's fall into twenty-four paintings, like the twenty-four images of a second of cinema. Each panel corresponds to a fragment of this time: the matter, the light, and the path of the water move, almost imperceptibly, from one image to the next.

The deep blacks, the grays, and the earth tones make up a landscape between figuration and abstraction. From a distance, the set affirms its rhythm and its unity. Up close, each painting reveals its own traces, transparencies, and accidents. The gaze circulates between the panels, seeks the differences, and reconstructs the movement.

“A second of painting" thus invites an experience of time: what passes in an instant is discovered in the duration of the gaze.

The work is presented in its entirety: 24 panels forming an inseparable set.

Presented in three rows of eight paintings, with a spacing of 3 cm between each panel, it occupies a surface of 261 cm in width × 96 cm in height.

Presentation

Alex Claude (b. 1971) is a French contemporary painter known for his imaginary abstract landscapes created with acrylics. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 1997 with highest honors, he quickly distinguished himself with a unique blend of technical precision and intuitive expression. He is the recipient of several awards, including a prize for printmaking, and has been featured in prestigious events such as the Printmaking Month in Paris and the Peter-Stuyvesant Foundation prize.

Claude's works are defined by a limited color palette – black, grey, brown, and blue tones – and techniques such as layering, dripping, erasure, and scratching. With high horizons and plunging perspectives, his compositions balance abstract and figurative dimensions, offering immersive, contemplative scenes. Each painting is created without preliminary drawing, guided instead by instinct and gesture.

Alex Claude exhibits in prestigious venues both in France and internationally, notably at the Salon de la Jeune Peinture, YIA-Paris, as well as the Musée Jean-Léon Gérôme in Vesoul and the Pascale Cottard-Olsson Gallery in Stockholm. His works are featured in numerous public and private collections, including those of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (National Library of France), the museums of Belfort and Vesoul, and the Artplu Contemporary Art Museum in Shanghai.

An exacting artist, Claude explores a poetic vision of landscape, crafting powerful visual compositions that unite silence, depth, and light. His pictorial universe invites viewers into a sensory experience, where paint becomes language.
