Painting generally involves working within a two-dimensional space, which can sometimes be limiting. I wanted to incorporate volume into my work, and this new addition to the "Interlaced Landscapes" series explores that third dimension. The canvas-on-canvas layering adds a physical presence to the landscape. The black strips at the top and bottom reference traditional Chinese hanging scrolls. © Adagp

Lancelot Blondeel is a contemporary painter born in 1988. Trained as an engineer, he currently works in Fontenay-sous-Bois, near Paris. The artist develops a gestural approach, conceiving painting in relation to movement. His work produces a memory of the gesture, leaving imprints and furrows on the surface. These traces and signs are revealed through the combination of complementary materials: transparent substances, paper, or cotton canvas. Granting an important role to the circulation of light through his works, the artist questions the way reality becomes visible, exploring the mechanics of the senses and perception.
