Discover the contemporary work of CHAMPALE

Whether he’s focusing on marines, night bars, musicians, Champale likes painting joyful moments with happiness.His palette is bubbly. His clowns, staged in an infinite range of postures, are never sad. They are not circus professionals but red nosed onlookers, imported directly from their daily lives and wearing party costumes.Life is already complex enough, it’s pointless to make it more complicated” reckons Champale,who decided to turn his back on gloominess for good.His painting sings, vibrates, and bursts. It’s a hymn to joy. (Arts Actualité Magazine - March 2009) Thierry SZNYTKA
