ERIC de BELLEVAL

French abstract artist, oil on canvas Eric’s reactions to artist Zao Wou-Ki inspired him to continue his passion of painting started at the atelier of F.Quesnel (Beaux-Arts Paris 1969-1973). The use of light coming from the painting, not from the outside is the whole premise of his work. One of his first paintings was bought by the Giessen Museum in Germany. This reinforced his desire to continue. The most notable influence on his work comes from a lyrical abstraction of oriental calligraphy. His expression and studies are therefore strongly marked by the presence of lines and color. Most of his works are characterized by the emergence of an abstract design, generally horizontal, and often distinguishes itself by a slightly violent expression. They are always with an elaborate monochrome background. The intention of the artist is to evoke confusion and an intense emotion without attaching to any object, and allow, through his work, the observers' interior expression to play.
