When art goes to the mountains…
Well yes, at the end of 2023, a small part of my works is going to the mountains for a few days. This will be the second edition of ART- CHAMPERY in Switzerland. A selection of 20 artists has been selected for this 2023 edition and on the theme “the genius of the Mountain”.
Very honored to be included in this selection, I really appreciated the initial philosophy of this event. Indeed, a collective exhibition is organized within this village for a period of 4 days and which ends with an auction. The conditions required to access this event as an artist are simple and respectful. Furthermore, the objective of the auction is to be able to raise funds for a local cultural association. The artist participates up to 10% of the amount of the work sold. No additional costs are requested from the artist, the only costs incurred include those related to travel, shipping, and accommodation if necessary.
The auction is carried out at the end of the exhibition and is registered with the Drouot auction house in Paris. It is also possible to register in advance as places are limited.
ART-CHAMPERY 2023 poster
The selection of artists selected for this 2023 edition is visible online with an individual link to each artist and thus allows you to discover the work of each.
The theme “The Genius of the Mountain” obviously calls largely on figurative art. My posture and artistic approach allowed me to select a choice with regard to this theme where the mountain appears in the background. My artistic work resonates with humans, their posture, their attachment to a place through a composition that takes into account the support and the format.
The four figurative works selected are “ JOUR DE PLUIE ” (2021), “ LE TORRENT ” (2022), “ REVE D’ALTITUDE ” (2023) and “ SUR LE PIOLET ” (2023)
I present to you in more detail the four figurative works that will be present at this event:

The fisherman also took on the colors specific to this space. This acrylic work presents the concentrated posture of a fisherman sitting on his boat in the middle of a lake in rainy weather.

The painting represents a young woman sitting on the edge of a mountain stream and who has taken a place on surrounding rocks to cool her feet. We can see her in profile with a serene gaze focused on the imaginary and distant landscape. His outfit consisting of black leather pants with reinforcements indicates that his means of transport is the motorcycle. Two white butterflies go up the stream which brings a particular brightness. The work done in acrylic is reinforced by work with black stone and charcoal on the stonework part.

Description :
His head was full of images, his body a little tired and weighed down by its size, but now he was poeticizing his next expedition. Thoughtful, he had analyzed the route as well as his equipment and only he lacked the breath of new energy to set off again to attack these mineral monsters. His huddled posture, one hand on the ice axe, had transformed in the time of a flap of wings into a welcome break for a mountain butterfly passing by.
