About this artwork
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. © Adagp

About the artist
Lancelot Blondeel is a contemporary painter born in 1988, currently living and working in Vincennes (France). Drawing on his background in engineering, the artist explores in his abstract creations the relationship between humans and the experience of reality. His work is primarily distinguished by two main series: the "No Reason" series, featuring vibrant colors and spontaneous, hand-drawn gestures, and the "Interlaced Landscapes" series, consisting of abstract landscapes composed of horizontal or vertical bands. The artist works with raw materials such as cotton canvas, wood, pigments, and varnishes. His method is characterized by the use of handmade tools. Each new painting series follows a process of development akin to the scientific method, involving the creation of a specific technique. Rejecting being confined to any particular style or formalism, the artist's research encompasses both gestural and geometric abstraction. Lancelot Blondeel is interested in texture, using layering and impasto techniques to create a tactile surface effect. The use of curved lines with varying thicknesses contributes to a sense of movement. Lancelot Blondeel focuses on the ontological relationship between humans and reality. For him, the senses and consciousness act as an interface between the individual and the real, implying that our perception of reality is inevitably colored by our own subjectivity. Thus, his abstract works do not aim to represent the external world but rather reflect the inner experience.
