Landscapes
& Adventures

8pieces

Landscapes to venture into: streams forded by 4×4, forest tracks, an old bridge in Corsica, the Forest of Fontainebleau at dusk. Easel-sized, in oil on canvas and on linen.

The Adventures

Fresh air, as a counterweight to the satirical canvases.

The Adventures have a recurring hero: the 4×4, in red, yellow or turquoise, launched into a ford, a puddle or a cloud of dust. Around it are conifer forests and mountains painted needle by needle. The format stays that of the easel, 100 × 80 cm, to keep the picture at eye level.

The Forest of Fontainebleau, on the studio’s doorstep, sets the tone: sandstone, heather, twisted pines, and a light that already looks as if it had been cut into pieces.
