Figuration contemporaine
La toile est comme la scène d'un théâtre. Ce qui se joue est en suspens. Le rideau s’ouvre … Le décor apparaît, celle d’une fête, de la rue, d’un paysage. Ce que l’on y découvre est suggéré. Puis les silhouettes se dessinent, expriment une manière d’être. Les nuances de couleurs installent une ambiance claire et douce. Il s’en dégage peu à peu une histoire qui se révélera en filigrane aux yeux du spectateur. La peinture est comme l’écriture d’un journal. La couleur y révèle et met en lumière la beauté de l’instant.
"J'utilise la peinture numérique pour construire des images, ensuite ces images sont reconstruites ou transposées sur la toile par la peinture à l'huile."

Contemporary allusive figurative painting
Light, movement and landscapes reflect the life of the artist. He is immersed in a world of theater, music and dance.
Above all a painter of atmospheres, Pierre Quentel reveals, on the canvas, smart figures and landscapes with subtle tints.
The canvas is like a stage. The curtain rises ... The scenery is that of a festival, a street.
Figures emerge, expressing a way of being. Shades of colors create an atmosphere.
And gradually a story unravels before the viewer’s eyes.
Painting is meditation. A dream between two worlds, that of the painter and that of the viewer. I can discern dance, music, water, rivers, a stream ... this dance vibrates, music flows – how enchanting ....
The artist transposes the perception of line and rhythm. This becomes a delight and the eye captures musical sensations.
I draw and improvise on the canvas, using sketches and collages. Each stroke is like a dance. The sketches are inspired by chance meetings, distant travels (real or dreamed), newspapers and book collages.
The canvas takes you on a journey to a street, marketplace.”
Born in Brest (Brittany), Pierre Quentel studied Graphic Design at Beaux-Arts d’Orléans.
He has dedicated his time to painting since 1997.
Personal exhibitions in Paris (Galerie Etienne de Causans), Honfleur and Pont-Aven.
He divides his time between his studio in Paris, and Julia’s Gallery in Pont-Aven.
