Frédéric Blaimont
Trois femmes sous la pluie

2015

About the Item

Frédéric Blaimont is a witness of his time. A French painter, he studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and at the École d'Art Graphique (Kunstgewerbeschule) in Basel, Switzerland in the early 1970s. He fled the student revolution of 1968 that was raging in Paris and to which he did not take sides because he was not politicized and only wanted to paint. Since he was 15 years old, he painted characters that are today the touch of his incomparable style. He worked for 30 years in advertising before devoting himself exclusively to his painting. “My street is a theatre, I wander in my time trying to make visible these ordinary people whose banality makes them universal. » "Trois femmes sous la pluie" (Three women in the rain) or if you prefer, three graces simply represented by Blaimont. Delicacy and finesse are characterized in this staging chosen by the artist. The character is at the heart of his concerns beyond the background which is neutral, white. The woman is highlighted by the reproduction of three different beauties, character of a diversified and multi-faceted society. The rain should be chaos but here, the scene embellishes the three women thanks to a perfectly mastered technique of the artist. Symbol of a wandering population, in a hurry or absent from its environment, and which lives daily in the repetition of gestures and actions that the artist enjoys representing simply and to perfection. The talent of the artist is no longer to be proven and he plays with codes by representing characters with deconstructed and/or abusive proportions. He chooses a mischievous title that immediately projects us into a context established and desired by the artist. What we notice at first sight when discovering Frédéric Blaimont's painting is the banality of his subjects. He likes faults and imperfections in people, which makes them likable, genuine and endearing. Something unusual is happening, the loneliness of the characters is particularly present but also complicit in the staging. His painting is a mixture of benevolence, wickedness and universality. Representation of a "mister-madam" everyone that he likes to freeze in his canvases with colors that are sometimes eccentric or realistic but always fair. "Redefining canons of beauty, truth that makes them beautiful" Frédéric Blaimont is a complete artist who fits into the air of New art. Black American box frame.
