François Benoit Lison

French, b. 1968
Né à Granville le 14 avril 1968. François Benoît-Lison a d’abord été inspiré par une démarche figurative, qui a progressivement évolué pour laisser place à une abstraction d'abord lyrique puis plus contrastée où le noir règne en maître absolu. Le noir est sa couleur, parfois sombre, parfois éclatant, sans limite, il peut être dominateur et se faire doux. Il peut accepter la rencontre avec d'autres couleurs mais demeure le fil conducteur. Après l'acrylique et l'huile, les pâtes bitumineuses et les encres lui ouvrent une autre porte, celle de l'abstrait bien plus profonde et plus contemporaine avec la possibilité de travailler ces matières sous plusieurs aspects et formes. L'artiste nous offre depuis la fin des années 80 des oeuvres empreintes de recherche, de réflexion, de philosophie, chargées d'un message fort et brut et mettant en lumière sa pensée et y laissant une empreinte indélébile. L'abstraction est son aventure, sa liberté, son combat, ses rêves, sa rage, sa solitude. Les oeuvres de Jackson Pollock, Le Caravage, Egon Schiele , Pierre Soulages et André Marfaing sont des références majeures pour l'artiste. En septembre 2022, la galerie Sarto est fière de sortir son premier catalogue raisonné recensant sur plus de 200 pages le parcours de l’artiste de 1998 à 2021 (près de 850 oeuvres référencées). Son livre est disponible à la galerie sur demande.

François Benoit Lison (1968 - ) "Lointain" Oil on canvas 100 x 81 cm 2022 Born in Granville, France, on April 14, 1968, François Benoît-Lison began with a figurative approach, which gradually evolved into abstraction, first lyrical, then more contrasting, where black reigns supreme. Black is a sacred color, sometimes dark, sometimes dazzling, without limits, it can be dominant or gentle. After acrylics and oils, bituminous pastes and inks opened another door, that of the abstract, much more profound and contemporary, with the possibility of working these materials in many aspects and forms. Since the 1980s, the artist has been offering us works imbued with research, reflection and philosophy, charged with a strong, raw message, highlighting his thoughts and leaving an indelible imprint. Abstraction is his adventure, his freedom, his struggle, his dreams, his rage, his solitude. Works by Jackson Pollock, Caravaggio, Egon Schiele, Pierre Soulages and André Marfaing...
