Gérard Redoulès

Gérard Redoulès was born in Paris and graduated from the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués de Paris.

He first worked in decorative arts, designing and creating furniture.

In 1990, he placed his technical skills at the service of a pictorial approach that became a language in its own right. As Claude Rocher stated, “the craftsman has given way to the artist.”

The multiple translucent layers he superimposes reveal the vibrant depths of his paintings. The uniqueness of his technique creates landscapes that are evocative enough for each viewer to make them their own.

His work addresses the challenge of harmonizing chaos. He explains it as follows: “By renouncing line and form, and focusing on color and material, both the technique and the result become a kind of dance between chance and control.”

According to Claude Rocher, some of his creations evoke “leather, the thickness of a skin, earth or a glacier; almost a geological work, through these icy surfaces, these cross-sections that reveal the flanks of subterranean depths, like archives in which our past has stratified, like traces left by the artist’s scalpel incursions in a poetic, aesthetic, or playful exploration of the intimate and elusive fabric of the universe.”
