| Artist Statement |
Frances Gérard was born in 1955 in France .
Site France / http://www.ori-gerard.com/
He presently lives and works in Paris and Languedoc .
His painting research is essentially based on the various expressive alternatives
Of china ink using a very personal technique .
Altough taking his inspiration mainly from reality ( landscapes , figures , objects )
Frances gérard do nor limit to it , reducing to the essential the naturalistic and descriptive
Aspects ,with a tendency to abstract .
( sky - land . horizontal - vertical . primary colors - geometrical work -
external reality an interieur world . )
Personal technique and artist concept
My tool is the chinese brush and my canvas is the paper .
Three fluids - mixing - on the brush -
Oil - ink - water -
Ink and water : fusion
Oil and ink : opposition
Water : mediation
My works took a direction that resulted in artwork toward a new language -
My work express painting the freedom to do art and the own art -
The masters gave me impulse , influenced my work by the grandiosity of
Their immortal art .
Reference - on the traces for ancient cultures
Calligraphy - chinese painting - miniature art -
Dialogue : orient - occident -
Texts and theory on painting -
Shitao : les propos sur la peinture du moine citrouille amere -
Le yuntai shan de gu kaizhi : les premieres peintures de paysage en chine -
The spirit of the brush
A painting is often represented by its intelligence an its sensitivity -
I feel it very important for an artist to participate in events as it allows him
to share his artistic ideas , express himself and to meet a world of people with an equal passion for art -
Art is the expression of all cultures .
Photography / Research / Saturation / unretouched photos
Photography, Urban Art, Cityscape, hypersaturation, high saturation , Nature , Photography of photography , shadowy figure.......
This photo with "hypersaturation" is part of a technique issued from the digital camera.
Hypersaturation creates abstraction and hides the underlying reality of the orginal photo creating in turn curiosity .
La photographie est en rapport avec l’ombre, à la fois de façon littérale en impliquant la lumière, mais aussi dans la métaphore de la disparition et de la trace. ( Shadowy figure )
Recherche sur la nature : Mutation / Saturation / Variation ( Sans retouche )
DEMARCHE ARTISTIQUE (ARTIST CONCEPT)
CONCEPTIONS CHINOISE ET OCCIDENTALE DE LA PEINTURE EN RAPPORT AVEC LA NOUVELLE TECHNIQUE
NATURE ET CULTURE
LA CULTURE EST EN CHINE DE L' ORDRE DE LA NATURE ; LES NERVURES QUI SE DISENT WEN EN CHINOIS. WEN DESIGNE LES VEINES DANS LE BOIS OU DANS LA PIERRE. L'ETYMOLOGIE DE CULTURE EST PRECISEMENT WEN LA MARBRURE. C'EST POURQUOI LA CULTURE WEN EST CONSIDERE COMME UNE MANIFESTATION DE LA NATURE DU MOUVEMENTS DU MONDE EN PERPETUELLE MUTATION TEL QUE LES CHINOIS LE CONCOIVENT . CE QU' ILS APPELLENT CULTURE, C' EST CETTE VEINE MARQUANT LE PASSAGE DE L'INDETERMINE AU DETERMINE. C' EST A DIRE LES MUTATIONS ISSUE DU DAO.
LE DAO PRODUIT LE UN ET LE UN DONNE NAISSANCE AU DEUX : LE YIN ET LE YANG SONT ISSUS DU CHAOS ORIGINAL. LES INTERACTIONS ENTRE YIN ET YANG PRODUISENT LES EXISTANTS : ROCHERS, NUAGES, MONTAGNES, CONSTELLATIONS. DE MEME PAR ANALOGIE LA PAIRE PINCEAU - YANG ET L' ENCRE - YIN , CREENT SUR LE PAPIER DES FORMES DONT LA VALEUR EXISTENTIELLE EST TOUT AUSSI EFFICACE QUE CELLE DES EXISTANTS DE LA NATURE. C' EST LE LINGQI - SOUFFLES ANIMES.
POUR REVENIR A MES RECHERCHES, JE DIRAIS QUE LA DUALITE CHINOISE YIN YANG EST ABANDONNEE AU PROFIT D' UNE TRILOGIE : HUILE - ENCRE - EAU .
EN EFFET L'HUILE ENTRE EN OPPOSITION AVEC L'ENCRE PENDANT QUE L EAU SERT DE MEDIATEUR ( MELANGE DES TROIS LIQUIDES SUR LE PINCEAU ). C'EST A DIRE QUE L ' APPORT D'EAU SUR LE PINCEAU AUGMENTE L' OPPOSITION AVEC L' HUILE TOUT EN ECLAIRANT LA TONALITE DE L ENCRE. CE CONFLIT REGULÉ PAR LE CHOIX DES LIQUIDES (PRESSION ET VITESSE DU PINCEAU) FAIT APPARAITRE SUR LA FEUILLE UN LAVIS OU LES RIDES ET LES VALEURS NAISSENT DANS LE MEME TEMPS.
DESSINER DANS LA COULEUR ( HENRI MATISSE )
LA COULEUR N'A PLUS A ETRE LIMITEE PAR LE TRAIT PUISQU' ELLE EST ELLE MEME CONSTRUITE SUR LA LIMITE DES OPPOSITIONS DES DEUX LIQUIDES.
LA COULEUR -LAVIS DEVIENT A CE TITRE LE SUPPORT IDEAL POUR RENDRE COMPTE DU CARACTERE A LA FOIS FRAGMENTAIRE ET HOMOGENE DU MONDE VISIBLE. UN LAVIS FAIT DE STRATES ET DE PLIS ANIMÉ ET PROFOND, DOTÉ D'UN RELIEF QUE SOULIGNE CHAQUE POIL DU PINCEAU .
LA TRACE JOUE UN ROLE CAPITAL DANS L'ACTIVITE ARTISTIQUE.
« PEINDRE, C' EST TRACER A L' AIDE DU COUP DE PINCEAU »
ZHANG YANYUAN (V° SIECLE)
C'EST POURQUOI JE ME SUIS CONCENTRÉ SUR LA STRUCTURE DU LAVIS, BASE DE LA COMPOSITION ET DE L'INTENTION OU ESPRIT
DE L'ARTISTE. .
