Dancer Ilfat41 viewsThis spanish Dancing woman is turning and showing her upskirt. Probably discovering beautiful legs ! During the phase of multiple painting restauration I decided to put a black colour around several paintings
This colour was able to move to the border of the painting giving a better effect as I have also discussed in another painting. Therefore a new photograph has to be taken and displayed on the site.

Dancer I37 viewsThe original, painted in 1965 was not satisfactory and was repainted to increase the feeling of rotation during dance.
This new photograph also includes a black edge around the support of conglomarated wood increasing the presentation of the painting.
This painting was later copied and modified to give birth to the Oriental Dancer in 2006.
Stored in a psychiatric surgery in Paris. As there is (as usual) no signature on this painting, any new consultant entering the room returns the painting to look for the name of the painter !
I was said that it was non exception after three years of display !

Jump of the Star Dancer28 viewsThis was the original drawing that I made in the beginning of year 2005. Here we can see the calligraphy in black lines superimposed on the Charcoal drawing. It indicates the way the artist is sometimes proceeding in his most elaborated elaborated work going from a sketch on a piece of paper, its reproduction in charcoal on the support, the Callygraphy. In this example the background was not considered as important !

Oriental Dancer60 viewsIt is a tradition from the middle east to invite a young female dancer at the end of a good meal with friends.
Sometimes the dancer has to keep a sword on her head during the dance.
The point of major interest is to see the extremely suggestive "belly dancing".
This is the final version of the Oriental Dancer.

Violin player36 viewsWoman violonist player seen at the "Theatre des Champs Elysees, Paris) during a performance dedicated to Georgia (Russia)
Her style was very impressive and suggested to me the russian style of playing violin such as David Oistrakh
During the break I was briefly introduced to the man considered as the most prominant contemporary russian painter.
This man looked as his paintings : a strong personality in every respect !

Another version of the Boeing take off32 viewsThis is a new version of the Boeing take off obtained with the videoprojection of an image stored on a disquette and entered in a laptop.
A charcoal drowing is made on the image projected by the videoprojector. It is more complicated than a simple gicli even if it is reworked by the painter. Sme irregularities in the background have been suppressed.

bird53 viewsThe beginning of this painting is very strange
After opening a old box I found a crest of dry material on a soft medium used for glass window repair
I put that crest on a plaque of MDF before to through it away. Then I realised that this can be a very difficult for a painting. Just before it was completely dry I forced the drawing of the bird which immediately suggested a ceramic. Visiting the Getty museum in Los Angeles I discovered the "Walking flower" which triggered the idea of building a model in ceramics from the image of the painting.

Bird Take Off51 viewsThis is the most appreciated version of the Bird Take off
which was particularly praized when it was displayed at the Joel Garcia "Art comtemporain" exhibition in Paris 2005
I like the position of legs which suggest the beginning of closure of the landing gear just after plane take off...
Interesting mixture of art and technology !

This one has never been presented in any exhibition
The expression of "take off" is the same as in the previous painting

Brunette with long hairs39 viewsPortrait of a young girl with long black hairs. Here the calligraphy is made of fast stokes of a scalpel clearly visible on the left of the figure.
The figure is extracted from a bachground of green colour which is quite surprising for the description of skin
The support in laminated plaque of fibers covered by plastic.

37 viewsPortrait of a young girl with long black hairs. Here the calligraphy is made of fast stokes of a scalpel clearly visible on the left of the figure.
The figure is extracted from a bachground of green colour which is quite surprising for the description of skin
The support in laminated plaque of fibers covered by plastic.
This is not a new version but just the result of photography with a different lighting equipment
A philosophic statement can be made about the way the eye and brain works in the analysis of pieces of Art (to be discussed later).

Couple in underwood39 viewsCouple in Underwood
This couple walking in underwood is considering to make love in this environement
This is real scene that I observed in a wood near Paris
The couple was in the fourties
The woman looked quite positive
The man was following her attitude
The painting is progressing with pigments included in an industrial varnish which has a fast drying time as compared to traditional medium for fine arts !
The erotic nature of the painting is still there politely expressed by the calligraphic style

Portrait of a young woman26 viewsThis picture suggested to the artist the portrait of a colleague who did not wanted to be portrayed with a trunk !
Therefore the name of this woman was not disclosed at least at the time of writing.
Multiple reasons can explain the big red dot frequently used by the painter.
