Exhibition of Frédéric Blaimont

Exhibition of Frédéric BlaimontWith a fabulous technique, a mixture of accomplished dexterity and the clever exploitation of the weft of the canvas, the bristles of the paintbrush or the brush, the ambient light, defying all the laws of composition, he invents balances tightrope walkers, always on the verge of breakage and ideal stability. Through his characters, Fréderic Blaimont translates real life in a tender yet uncompromising manner. What one notices, at first sight, is the banality of his subjects. Something unusual happens, the solitude of his characters is particularly present. His painting is a mixture of benevolence and wickedness. Sometimes unpleasant with his characters he nonetheless paints them with gentleness and attention. Ordinary passers-by, anonymous, transparent like the air we breathe, are pretexts to seize the chatter of these tiny heroes. If we listen, they tell us their past, their hopes, and their fears, one may recognize some of them.Artist's StatementThe truth is found in observation. I am curious about my contemporaries, people in their everyday life. I like to watch their attitudes without complacency; I like their faults. Their imperfections are sympathetic to me, their authenticity makes them touching, moving, endearing, close to us. I try to reproduce in my paintings these characteristics and the feelings they arouse in me. And it is with great sincerity that I would like, through my painting, to share with you my interest and my look for these transparent anonymous and so common.Moving, natural, captured by a lucid unforgiving vision, these portraits represent an image of society that the artist brushes with benevolence. –Luis Porquet / Journalist and art critic
