About the Item
A former student of the Ecole nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Didier Lapène completed this renowned training by benefiting from an important stay at the Casa Velázquez in Madrid. With a proven knowledge of the painter's craft, he developed an original approach to landscapes, free from the formal contingencies of our time. Reconnecting with the ambition of artists subscribed to plein-airism, he regularly sets up his easel in front of the motif and declines in multiple studies the vast panoramas that he aims to describe. Attracted by the marine spaces that border the Basque coast to the dunes of the North Sea, Didier Lapène has been working extensively in Brittany for several years. Fascinated by the immense horizon that unfolds off the coast of Camaret, he exercises his art with patience and tenacity, seeking, according to Cézanne's famous formula, "the little sensation", which transfigures the reality of the landscape. Guided by the sites of this famous advance of the Crozon peninsula, Didier Lapène has thus composed an extraordinary colorful score that interweaves rocky cliffs, hemmed beaches or green meadows tumbling down towards the ocean. Throughout the summer of 2022,
the Musée des Beaux-Arts will bring together more than one hundred and twenty unpublished works, a true summation of a pictorial quest that also revives the memory of some illustrious elders such as Camille Corot, Eugène Boudin or Paul Signac.
For several years, Didier Lapène has patiently examined the confines of the Crozon peninsula, happy to have discovered the dream stopover of any painter wishing to strengthen the art of landscape. His choice, far from seeming dictated by chance, stems from a detailed knowledge of a small number of ingredients necessary for the blossoming of the gaze.
Didier Lapène belongs to this generation of independent artists who escape summary classifications. As the painters of the Barbizon school had anticipated, he works on the representation of the visible in order to better grasp its impalpable forms, conscious of an inner life that irrigates secret presences: murmur of the air, palpitation of water, reflections of the sun's rays, cottony effects of mist, rustling of grains of sand, clashing of pebbles...
