About this artwork
After working with cotton canvas, paper, and wood, Lancelot Blondeel explores a new painting surface: transparent canvas. This material choice, both technical and conceptual, opens a field of experimentation where light enriches the dimensions traditionally explored in painting. While opaque supports, especially in darker tones, tend to close the surface, the transparent canvas allows light to circulate, to pass through, reflect, and diffuse, revealing its many behaviors. Combined with acrylic paint and its translucent qualities, it produces vibrant, luminous effects. The ultramarine pigment, the keystone of the series, is thus revealed in all its depth and intensity. A tension also emerges between the carefully composed structure of each work and the spontaneity of the gesture. Impasto, projections, and brush thickness are studied and controlled, yet the gesture itself—an almost instantaneous physical act—remains instinctive, becoming a unique form of bodily language for the artist.

About the artist

Lancelot Blondeel (b. 1988) is a contemporary painter based in residence in Le Pré-Saint-Gervais. His practice centers on a gestural approach, where painting becomes a response to movement. With a background in engineering, he brings a scientific perspective to the construction of his works. Lancelot Blondeel engages with painting in a tactile, almost sculptural way scraping, sanding, adding and removing layers. He works with raw materials such as pigments, acrylic mediums, canvas, and varnish, often applying them with handmade tools like scrapers. Each canvas holds a trace of the artist’s movement, capturing physical gestures that freeze a dynamic presence on the surface. Through abstraction, Lancelot Blondeel explores how human consciousness shapes our perception of reality. Rather than depict the external world, his work invites introspection and a deeper awareness of how we experience what is real.
