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
Au Congo Brazzaville, le département de la Sangha à plus de 800 kilomètres au nord de Brazzaville est devenu un eldorado vers l’orpaillage depuis près de 10 ans. Mon dernier séjour dans la Sangha était en 2020 et j'y ai tenu un sketchbook sur les personnes que je rencontrais et les paysages que je visitais. Parmi les nombreux enfants et les jeunes hommes que je croisais dans cette ruée vers l'or, une petite dame qui ne mesurait pas plus de 1m55 attirait mon attention. Ses vêtements trop grands prenaient la couleur beige de la boue sèche et je me suis laissé absorber par les mouvements incessants du tamis qu'elle immergeait et sortait de l'eau sans interruption. Aujourd'hui encore en regardant cette œuvre, je revois la danse incessante des tamis secouées dans l'eau, et du petit foulard jaune de la dame au bord de la rivière.
