Alain DELPECH

It is from the heart of matter that Alain Delpech draws the vocabulary of his original, dynamic, and compartmentalized universe. For this artist, whose timeless writing establishes an intimate dialogue between light and construction, the image is a place of silence and meditation. A journey, a mandala, it escapes the current events of the world, preferring to immerse itself among the fundamental mechanisms of evolution.

Sober, subtle, the compositions that are born under his brush or his chisel call upon the notions of presence, distance, networks and reserve.

Monumental and timeless, each of the figures embodied possesses an ethnological, universal dimension. Delpech's work is neither here nor now. It embodies the space of time.
