About the Item
Born in Nantes into a family of artists, Stéphanie Billarant joined the city’s music conservatory from an early age, while completing her dance training. These disciplines will make her aware of freedom of movement and freedom of imagination. The young woman then moved to North Carolina where she obtained a BA in Communication and Art at the University of Wake Forest. At the same time, she sells her first canvas.
Although she has been painting since she was 14, it was when she returned to Nantes 8 years later that the artist decided to devote all of her time to artistic production. To realize her works, Stéphanie Billarant is inspired by circus, dance, performing arts but also her personal life and photography, a practice that allows her to discover and exploit ink and switch her works in black and white. Photography and painting go hand in hand according to the artist and define themselves as the main mediums of his production. His inspirations characterize all of his artistic creation. A creation that links itself to a quest for research between experimentation and abstraction, where architecture and nature take on the play of an abstract aesthetic, where movement and trajectory meet to present an imaginary, unreal and fantastic world.
Stéphanie Billarant uses Patricio Rojas San Martin’s quote to describe her series of works entitled Tropisme: «The line, the nuance, the light and the darkness open the way, establish the form, reveal the density of the thought. No need to look for treasure on the edge of immensity. The key to the secret lies at the bottom of the well, in the jungle and desert of our own life experience.” Today, the artist is reintroducing colour in his works, with a view to a new challenge of creativity

- Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snackBy Maurice LobreLocated in BELEYMAS, FRMaurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...Category
