Armchairs by Luc Michel

"I am a painter and was already working on the theme of fish: they came out of the water, humanized mischievously as they walked... Here they are back in their environment, in any case, facing the sea, beautiful place. What else could I paint? All that was left was to tighten the slats of the chair, too far apart for the coherence of the drawing. Then I had to "landscape" the seat and the backrest in the same continuity of lines, then delicately place some of my fish... Goldfish! And the final touch, the pupil. Now they live!!!"

Luc Michel is a self-taught artist. It's been a few years since he exhibited his paintings, attending various regional shows (Saint Romain-La Hêtraie, St Laurent de Brèvedent, Artistes ouvriers du Havre) where he was awarded a few prizes. He participated in 2014 and 2016 in "Rouen National Art". We could also see him at the Tourist Office of Le Havre, at the "Pasino", at the Gallery "Les Mots Passants à Etretat", at the abbey of Montivilliers. For the past three years, he has been exhibiting his work at the "Galerie Hamon" in Le Havre, and more recently at the "Galerie 13" in Honfleur. The artist paints a playful, humorous, poetic universe, rich in color where fish, a nice pretext for some extravagance, compete for the front of the canvas. After having worked for a long time in watercolor, the paintings he proposes today are realized in acrylic, offering an even more colorful palette.
