French Contemporary Drawing by Jean-Louis Salvadori - Untitled
Located in Paris, IDF
Jean-Louis SALVADORI, né à Ulm en Allemagne, vit et travaille à Toulon (Var)
Dès l’âge de 14 ans, Jean-Louis Salvadori s’exprime dans son art et découpe des personnages dans du bois à l’aide d’une scie et les colorie. Dans les années 70 il rencontre le photographe Henry Hermellin avec qui il réalise des portraits en noir et blanc dans différentes expositions communes. Salvadori troque son appareil photo à nouveau pour le pinceau. Depuis les premières expositions de photos à celles de peintures cet artiste polyvalent s’est orienté vers un travail original... Ses œuvres permettent à la suggestion de prendre une place importante. Ce poète, peintre des couleurs, sensible, imaginatif, aborde avec talent la technique mixte mariée à celle du pinceau. Ce qu’il aime surtout, ce sont les portraits, les silhouettes, teintés d’un soupçon de romantisme. Il excelle dans les mises en scène où l’on peut voir des élégantes en représentation, des musiciens créant la fête, des couples tendrement enlacés, …Salvadori n’appartient à aucune école, son talent lui est personnel. Il a comme l’un de ses personnages, « le nez dans les étoiles », et nous invite à le suivre dans son univers de l’imaginaire.

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
