Gérard Redoulès

Gérard Redoulès was born in Paris, and is a graduate of the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués de Paris.

He began his career in the decorative arts, designing and producing furniture.

In 1990, he put his technique at the service of a pictorial approach that had become a language in its own right. This is how Claude Rocher asserts that "the craftsman has given way to the artist".

The multiple translucent layers superimposed reveal the vibrant depths of her paintings. The singularity of her technique creates landscapes that are allusive enough to allow each viewer to make them their own.

His work focuses on the problem of harmonizing chaos. He explains it this way: "by renouncing line and form, and concentrating on color and matter, both the technique and the result are a kind of dance between chance and its control".

According to Claude Rocher, some of his creations sometimes evoke "leather, the thickness of a skin, an earth or a glacier; almost a geological work, with these icy surfaces, these sections revealing the sides of the subterranean depths, like archives in which our past has been stratified, like so many imprints of the artist's scalpel-like incursions into a poetic, aesthetic or playful search for the intimate and elusive fabric of the universe".
