Sarkozian Bird (final)89 views Sarkozian Bird (final)
As described in the news this new modified version is concentrating on the head of the bird !
In the news there is also a discussion concerning the white graph on the left of the painting !
I will probably transfer later this discussion here or in the "In Depth" Section.

Aristocrat and Bird30 viewsThis painting is now presented in the Paris studio. Some visitors prefer to see the painting in there close environement than in the regular presentation of paintings in virtual galleries. This was the "before the last" painting of the first period.
I have discovered another painting on the back "Duckling getting out of its Egg" not yet photographied

Aristocrat and Bird34 viewsAristocrat and Bird This painting was very well preserved and no restauration was necessary. It is presented in the workshop for photography only. This is obviously a tribute to the painting style of Bernard Buffet. I like the very serious attitude of this old gentlman who is tight in his education, culture, dressing as opposed to the bird which can represent freedom !

Il cavaliere del Cello44 viewsOniric painting produced directly on the support.
The drawing was not studied as usual on paper.
One graph has been transmitted intact over time in GF painting up to the "Death of Wagner".
The language of the title has been choosen for its music.

Woman in Night Dress blue pink47 viewsAnother painting of these beautiful women in a blue and pink night dress.
The colors of the background can be considered as the colour of the dress.
The black line is made with oil painting, the background is acrylic.
The value of acrylic is its extremely fast drying.
The drawing is made on a piece of paper first and then transferred on the background.

Tribute to jean Fautrier47 viewsI have probably attended an exhibition of Fautrier paintings or strucked by some of his paintings in a more general exhibition. The value of this particular painting is the superimposition of seven layers that can be visible on a thorough examination of the painting. you can spend a lot of time to try to go deeper and deeper. However, when I looked at it recently I was able to identified a kind of joke that I decided to include in the painting at the time of its fabrication.

Young Girl out of her bath50 viewsA young girl holding a towel is exiting her bath. This small size painting is particularly appreciated by women visiting the collection.
More details in the "In Depth" section.

Heart Embryology39 viewsDespite its color this painting strongly suggests embryology of the heart of a mamal ! It has been cleaned and slightly remastered (especially the calligraphic black lines). The formation of the heart starts in the embryo from a simple tube. Later there are rotations and torsions producing the final organ which is in fact finished in its basic structure several years after birth. I was originally interested by heart embriology when I worked on the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in the early 70s. This painting was made around 10 years before...
|
|
Heart Embryology44 viewsThis painting was made long time before I was involved in Cardiology. Nevertheless I am now forced to see in this painting something suggesteing an embryologic phenomenon taking place in a living structure. The green dominant color does not worry me. Some places show a braun color strongly suggesting the blood. Very strange !
|
|
Human Spirit59 viewsThis represents the essence
of Calligraphic painting.
Note the perfect balance
of the graph on the background of the painting.
|
|
Le duel63 viewsDuel was quite common in France. Its origin is very old. Its inheritance was the time of chevalerie...
Duel with swords was very common in case of issue beetwen two people.
After sword, pistols were also used until the end of World War II

Lido dancer35 viewsThe Lido is the name of a famous night club located on the Champs Elysées which is
the most beautiful Avenue in Paris going from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde.
I have been invited several times in the Lido and was impressed by the beauty of the dancers.
The dancers are highly magnified by unbelivable dressing of many kinds. The background will be improved after remastering several times the painting in 2006.
This is not the final...
|
|
Lido Dancer46 viewsThis painting representing a Lido Dancer, it was never finished. Multiple painting sessions were necessary to progressively increase the strength of the background which express the audiance.

|
Machucambos37 viewsMachucambos & Browning
I like the dancing style
of the subject
The Browning is by chance
|
|
Superb Bird34 viewsThis bird is one of
the most impressive of the
series. The glacis technique
is at its best. This painting can be classified as an "Art object" !
|
|
Prostitute fixing her stocking39 viewsThis is a rather large picture which
was painted in a few sessions. This demonstrates the power of acrilic paintings despite their extremely fast drying property.
This also explains why the colours are in the same register...
|
|
Sculptor and his creation36 viewsCalligrahic figurative description
of a sculptor considering his artwork.
I love the representation of the male private parts of the sculptor.
|
|
The Spring41 viewsThis is probably the most appreciated painting of the artist.
It represents the calligraphy based on two previous master pieces of art.
On one hand the portrait of a young woman by Brancusi for the head and on the other hand the general design inspired by the famous painting of Ingres displayed in the Louvre museum in Paris.
When this website wil be completed, the original Ingres painting will be also displayed for comparison.
|
|
The Spring41 viewsCopy of The Spring
Tribute to Ingres and Brancusi
This is a simple 100% copy of the previous painting just for security reason
In fact Coppermine which is used to make this presentation keeps all the figures in a special backup file, but who knows !

Whisky47 viewsWhat do you think of a glass of whisky
with a (girl)friend with sparkling Perrier
in a warm summer afternoon at the
country club.
Drink and relax !

52 viewsThis is the second Calligraphic Wire Sculpture in the shape of a bird. This is not the best photo. I think that another one is needed, taken from a different angle.
This sculpture is more elaborated, from a drawing, before to start assembling the wires.
|
|
Wire Sculpture 131S58 viewsThis is my first Calligraphic Wire Sculpture made in 1965 with the #131 close to the end of the first period.
It can be called the first Calligraphic Sculpture. It originally was made to accomodate a dry flower...
Therefore it is a kind of wire vase, if you have some imagination !
|
|
Zen Center N°446 viewsThis painting which needed some renovation and minor changes in the drawing was originally considered as unfinished. However after some knowledge in the Zen, I was convinced that this ppainting was going along the same style as the previuos painting for Zen from the unsatisfying painting that I have discussed in detail. Here again a central hole white is giving the impression of infinity. it can be appropriate for the entrance to a deep meditation

|
The Sarkozian Bird50 viewsThe amazing story of this painting has been described in the "News" of this Website;
It is possible to go further in the description of this painting but not in public !
Do not see any armenian connotation in the title. This is pure English language
as Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC after the name of Smithson a chimist and mineralogist.
