ART Habens
Alexy Berthelot
I obviously separate my series and
works but it can be seen that in
my painting often there is an
intimate and dreamlike dimension.
The guiding thread in all my work
is that of ambiguity ...
Often androgynous, fragile, static,
sensitivity retained. Murmured
painting. But mastered. In the
abstract expressionist, I have a
very instinctive way of working, I
add up the elements, I correct the
random.
I would like to render a timeless
image of life. In my figurative
painting, I try to transcribe, to
interpret, to freeze for a moment,
a universal feeling in an indefinite
time ... It seems essential to me
that my figurative work be focused
on the intimacy of the person and
not on the place of it in society.
The more I advance the more it
seems essential to purify the
emotion. By this I mean that in my
work I do not seek to produce an
illustrative or too narrative
painting of an era or to make an
action or a feeling. Neither a
movement. I just want to stop
time.
