Two days ago, I was going to Le Carre d'artistes website and I flicked through the pages. Eventually I picked Mr Jamin's work.
However now and retrospectively, I am less and less impressed by the work. Oh well. It is done.
But it is funny the brain works because I remember another style's artist and my brain was saying: "Find it. Find it. This is your next choice for an artist."
So I went back to the website, but I couldn't remember the name of the artist, only his style which is not very helpful when you are trying to go through many paintings.
Eventually I found it and here it is!, let's me introduce to you, Mr Guillaume ( William in English) Piot.
He is self-taught. His style is semi-figurative. His biography says his intent is to let the viewer's imagination wander. He lives in Châteauneuf du Pape, a hundred miles or so from the Mediterranean coastline- not a bad place to be knowing how famous the area is for his wine.
This feels as if Rothko had taken some geology lessons but the minimalist choice of colours creates a strong visual effect which proves successful overall since his style stayed with me for two days. It reminded me of rock strata. I find the transcendence of Nature and the sense of the unknown is intriguing and works effectively on the mind.

Colourful but not quite my kind of art. In the post prior to the one you commented on you can find my kind of art mentioned with a link.
ReplyDeleteYes there is a certain amount of irony in my comment to Jayne, it is essentially a potted history of how the PC came about. It was a quick and dirty stop gap to fill a hole in the market by IBM and never expected to become THE system. The blue screen of death you may have experienced is a direct result of von Neumann's architecture. Also I taught software testing and understand how it should be done, but I also understand how hard it is.
