Raphaël Renaud is graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris, the artist was born in 1974 and lives and works between France and Berlin. His work has often been exhibited internationally, in Zurich, Cologne, Vienna, Berlin, Basel, Moscow and Miami, as well as in Paris, Lille and St Denis de la Réunion, in art galleries and international fairs.
"Between photographic inspiration and hyper-realism, Raphaël Renaud's paintings disturb the viewer's perception through their profusion, particularly in their city motifs. Their bright, cheerful brushstrokes give the form an abstraction that only hindsight allows us to apprehend as a meaningful whole. Notes of light and waltzes of colour come together in peaceful contemplation.
His oil paintings, on canvas or wood, are the result of an encounter with imagery: a chance encounter or the deliberate capture of an everyday snapshot, this photographic approach underpins her pictorial work. This approach is often reflected in the composition and choice of subjects, which could have been those of our own weekend photos, immersing us in the familiarity of familiar surroundings.
This approach gives rise to an intuitive work whose bright, colorful notes harmonize to form an immediately identifiable scene that, at first glance, might appear to have been painted according to the rules of hyperrealism. And yet, if you approach the image as closely as possible, you'll lose yourself between the touches of color that make it a work close to abstraction... At the junction of these apparent opposites, a transcription of the immediate sensation by a frank and spontaneous brushstroke takes us back to impressionist scenes, captured in a radiant nature or in the corner of a living room.
Their bright, vibrant colors, combined with the exploration of light in all its contrasts, sublimate the perception of a unique moment. Despite this profusion, Raphaël Renaud's works inspire calm and serenity. That of a hoped-for escape or of an everyday cocoon. In all cases, the overriding sensation is one of indescribable well-being, a well-deserved break from the inextricable tangle of images that accompany our daily anxieties. In contrast, the artist's project invites us to take a walk between the gallery walls, a stroll under the clouds or along the water's edge, in the reassuring shade of a protective interior or the corner of a library where the mind can travel in its turn...

Raphaël Renaud
Born in 1974, the artist studied at "Beaux Arts de Paris". His works are exhibited in international galleries and fairs, in Vienna, Paris, Zurich, Moscow and New York, Berlin, Cologne, London and Miami. "Between photographic inspiration and hyper-realism, Raphaël Renaud's paintings disturb the viewer's perception through their profusion, particularly in their city motifs. Their bright, cheerful brushstrokes give the form an abstraction that only hindsight allows us to apprehend as a meaningful whole. Notes of light and waltzes of colour come together in peaceful contemplation. If Raphaël Renaud’s paintings seem so familiar, it is because they are serenely extracted from life, a life that could be ours. Renaud’s art is deeply intimate; the reduced-size objects are at hand, and the landscapes appear as a déjà vu from our memories. Like many of us, Renaud takes pictures of his daily life with his cell phone, sometimes on the spot, sometimes staged, and it is by faithfully transposing it into painting that the shift of the gaze takes place, and that beauty emerges from the banal. Light plays a major role in the works, creating the reflections dear to the Flemish painters, imparting body and substance to the things represented, and its softness gives the scenes an atmosphere of serenity. This atmosphere of calm is underlined by the simplicity of the subject, inviting to contemplation. Renaud prefers the sensitivity of Valloton or Hammershoi to the neutrality or critical gaze of the hyperrealists. Very small format paintings on wood are quicker and more practical for an artist who lives between France and Germany. He materializes these snapshots into portable scenes, like fragments of memory that constitute a gallery that is both personal and shared. Whether in small still lifes, large landscapes or close-ups of interiors, the composition of the painting – here inspired by the method of framing in photography – is sometimes very frontal, sometimes off-center, thus favoring a change of viewpoint on reality. We then discover a phenomenological approach: through the increased attention paid to a lived experience, synthesized and aestheticized, the work of Raphaël Renaud testifies to a true awareness of the world.
