Discover the contemporary work of Etienne Lavigne

Etienne Lavigne has been developing pictorial work for several years. entirely part. He lives near Pau where he lives. is located in the workshop, and works in the great South. The artistic work accompanied the the years spent in the activity linked to the profession of architect: drawing, pastel, shapes and geometry are part of the training and of a whole daily life.

Papers, paints, images and colors have been created. exposed to several times: Pau, Carcassonne, Bagnères de Bigorre, Oloron...

This is a plastic, non-figurative approach, calling on pure natural pigments, land harvested and refined by him, as well as to “recomposed papers.” These papers are an integral part of the research and are created in the workshop: plant-based, recycled papers, glued fragments, pleated, pressed sheets... the search for textures, rhythms and surface events. The formats are sometimes small, intimate, but also large to enter the colorful space.

Earths and pigments, worked in the movement of the papers, between transparency and opacity, clarity and clarity. and darkness, warm and cold colors, then freely invite images, abstract and meditative.
