Franck Duminil was born in 1933. He spent his youth between Paris and Bearn (South-West of France) where he was steeped in Pyrenean nature. In 1954–58, while learning to paint, Duminil frequented the studios of architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux and Paris. In 1963 he began exhibiting his first works, and in 1968 he decided to devote himself to painting. Several monumental works and numerous exhibitions in France and abroad.
In 1983, Duminil moved to Montmartre. His works are displayed permanently in galleries in France and abroad as well as in private collections, foundations, museums. He participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions.
An artwork of Duminil immediately imposes its presence. Not that his approach is easy because one must rid oneself from appearances, forget the outline of things, to receive their undifferentiated original shape. Franck Duminil however, is not an "abstract" painter in the common sense of the word. He is far more than that. Abstraction, for him, far from being a pure play of forms, is a primordial trip toward the essential, there where form does not yet exist. His paintings are the lieu of emergence of all the possibles. Some traces and the original brilliance of a blue, a yellow, or a red, emerge out of the night or of the dawn. Duminil reaches beyond spatial and temporal characteristics to allow us a glimpse of the undifferentiated basis of things. This "not yet happened", this "informal", this plunge into the indefinite are the very substance of his artwork. Franck died on June 13, 2014.
