Arnaud
Composition #207

About the Item

Arnaud creates elegant and solemn oil paintings of a dark and heavy experiences. The surfaces are thickened by paint, like tweed tapestries of labor-intensive strokes. They create a uniform field which holds the surface in complete equality at every point. Behind this plane, a shallow pictorial space of great compression develops, and this entire space is one of perpetual nervous tension, pushing and pulling in a tight arena. Fundamentally monochromatic, the paintings are in neutral hues or in brooding reds, blues, and ambers. They are strong, serious, resolved presences. His interest is to capture the feeling of alienation and isolation, the act of creating art and the phenomenal existence of the art object, glowing, breathing in perpetuity.  Arnaud’s paintings very successfully convey the act of bracing against pain, of enduring it with dignity, of covering the most extreme difficulty by means of aesthetic wealth.
