Discover the contemporary work of henri crespy

Trained in graphic arts in Paris, Henri navigates with great ease in

different creative universes: his job as artistic director in Parisian agencies

naturally leads him to be interested in production. Between the 80s and

2020, he will produce and direct a number of spots in L'Océan Indien, integrating over

the years new technologies, compositing, special effects on

computers. The era of roughs and other storyboards sketched with felt-tip pens

(Magic Marker) for agencies is long gone. Back to the brushes

during covid, he put away his filming equipment and threw himself into

painting (acrylic). Even if he still creates some figurative canvases, his

orientation is abstract expressionism. He likes Shirley Jaffe, Pollock, Kandinsky,

Joan Mitchell, and... German expressionism.

Residing in Mauritius, I am deeply influenced by the tropical vegetation, the blue sky and the turquoise sea, which are reflected in my artistic approach. Although my tendency is to paint according to my mood, in an expressionist style, I always strive to be in the present moment.
