Contrary to the traditional painting approach of adding to create form, Lancelot Blondeel builds relief by concentrating material in certain points on the canvas. This unique technique highlights the gestural element of the artist's practice, which favors curved lines and vivid colors. The use of bichromy is integrated into a simple composition. The work with washes applied in successive layers enhances the textural effects, creating an impression of depth. Finally, the relief is crafted to capture shadows and light, thus emphasizing the three-dimensional aspect. The frame is made of natural wood. © 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.
