Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic, a paint that adapts

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description
Escape (acrylique sur toile, 61x50cm) est « l’alter ego » de l’œuvre Not here. En effet, se sentir différent et avoir l’impression de venir d’une autre planète peut, s’il n’est pas compris, nous mener à des impasses et nous tourner vers une idée essentielle : nous pouvons nous sentir très différent et l’être par certaines caractéristiques, mais nous nous complétons et avons un rôle à jouer dans cette vie, notre monde. Dans cette œuvre, le personnage fuit la planète auquel elle appartient car elle la perçoit comme hostile et menaçante. Pourtant, tout dans son être lui prouve qu’elle est une de ses créations (couleurs utilisées, aspect trouble présents chez les deux objets). Ses tourments, qui créent des failles en elle (illustrés par certains éléments de son buste et ses mains) l’empêchent de voir à quel point ce monde renferme des choses merveilleuses auxquels sa sensibilité peut lui donner accès (ciel bleu au-dessus du personnage).
