Discover the contemporary work of Roland DE LATTRE

Painter or jack-of-all-trades, he is above all an agitator of emotions.
His painting is like the character, cheerful, colorful and always with a touch of humor reminding us that life is a happiness that we share through the images of our memories.
Using the technique of mixed media and always in search of graphic detail, he likes to provoke the retinal reflex which is excited by a texture, a shape or a detail, perhaps recalling his love for the frieze, the background, the form and shocking why not.
A funny character, always alert and curious about human nature, constantly the search for a new experience to create or a business to set up, his painting is a festival of different expressions and writings at several levels of reading that he exposes to the public according to his desires.
A graduate of Fine Arts, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, former head of a communications agency in France and Luxembourg, he has let go of everything to affirm today a painting rich in colorful emotions and a sensitivity that he confesses to us through his intimate messages to through different pictorial writings that leave us in doubt about how many "me" there is in the artist.

If the image is abstract, 
is the message figurative?

If the idea is abstract,
is the message implied?

If the message is implied,
should the image be explicit?

Abstract, figurative or symbolic,
is the message the essence of the work?

Should we paint the beautiful
if the subject is ugly?

Should we paint what is sad
if reality is not cheerful?

If reality is ugly and sad,
then why paint it if it makes you unhappy?

Unhappiness and happiness are two colors to my emotions       on the support of life.

My words are images and reflections of my thoughts      become messages in my painting.
