I consider myself a « global artist » Plastic Arts Music (SAX alto performance, Guitar Singing See Facebook Labor Jean Marie Robert or Labor1937https: //youtu.be/shmfUoJ3Kpc) … illustrator See bnf https: //catalogue.bnf. en / ark: / 12148 / cb131722305
After my attempts as a painter in adolescence, I only consider myself a painter since 1960 (first exhibition 1962 Galerie AZUR Montpellier) … while being an ART teacher from 1970 to 1997 Diploma of Claude Bernard today replaced by the universities
1970/1997 Period during which « I taught by day and I painted at night »
I have a fairly large production (which I have shown quite regularly since my retirement in 1997 (aggregated and engaged in ART) and I continue to create again in 2020.
I designed what I now call « My Métis Romanticism »: paintings, Collages,
abstractions, figurations, plurality, minimalism, etc. I build my
work in a certain ENTROPIE (disorder … constructive) … with the greatest freedom, inspiration, reflection, practice
… without the idea of wanting to be at all costs being in a trend or Fashion
whatever … I need freedom to be myself,
However, I remain interested in everything that is happening and happening around me….
I have a whole story to tell … and I tell it: Breaks (my illness, my « resurrection ») the pains and joys of the World, my meetings with ART,
my Testimonials, Tenderness, Reviews, Conversations, investigations, inventions, writings,
music, Concept of Space ……… .etc
I think ART, Painting … And Painting thinks for me … and makes me think. and the music rests me
I use all the resources at my disposal … by a set of … ACTIONS ……. Constructions, deconstructions, modifications, techniques, framing, cuts, simplifications, vibrations or
assemblies and restructuring … In a certain freedom where improvisation has its place … in any case necessary, to me and to my speech
My Tools are chosen according to what I want to write and tell…. I have a clear idea of what I want to do. … while letting myself be guided by painting … and it is she (and the painting) who guides me in my gesture …. Which seems to me. Broaden my palette and my discoveries … and lets me wonder about my own awareness of things, about ART … about everything that is happening around me …… which I adhere to or not but which I ask questions … and that makes me think
I become an Analyst and Critic afterwards
André LHOTE had a great influence on me and my way of working on this subject.
………………………….. analysis reflection and also the Urgency of Instinct and gesture in Action ……..
I built what I call today
« My Metis… and Contemporary Romanticism » … It’s
a conversation (brush in hand) …, a story or stories
of Art and Life that I tell … a kind of testimony that I bear … sensations, constructions, testimonies, revolt,
A whole BRAINSTORMING
I wanted (and want) free and sincere
in a certain humanism of truth and sincerity … My SINCERITY
like « the REFLECTION of the time that has been given to me » …. More than 60 years of action !!
