Lancelot Blondeel is a contemporary painter born in 1988. Trained as an engineer, he now works near Paris. The artist develops a gestural approach, creating a practice conceived in its relationship to movement. Through the body, the painter builds a memory of gesture, leaving imprints and furrows on the support. These singular traces are revealed through the combination of complementary materials: transparent matter, paper, and cotton canvas. Granting an important place to the circulation of light through his works, the artist questions the way reality presents itself to the eye, exploring the mechanics of the senses and of perception. He draws the viewer into a reflexive position that questions our modes of presence in the world.
