About Christian Charrière
A collection of highly recognizable characters populates Christian Charrière’s paintings. Screen stars and rock icons are depicted with all the detail a portrait photographer would give them.
Working in oils on canvas, Charrière employs a palette dominated by greys. “I strongly control grey colors,” the artist says, and in his work they take on a degree of variety matching that of paintings that use a far broader spectrum of colors.
About David W. Whitfield
David W. Whitfield’s intriguing watercolors expertly use the medium to push the limits of the subject matter and vice versa. Whitfield appears infinitely flexible - he switched to gestural figure painting after many years of creating Surrealist art, and is exploring acrylic as well as working in watercolor.
Whitfield was born in England and today lives in France. He has exhibited in Scotland, Austria, France, Italy, the United States, and all around England, and is widely published.
About Florent Lubienicki
Florent Lubienicki's work reflects his fascination with science, astronomy, and philosophy with elegant earthy tones and complex swirling lines. Made with acrylic paint, Indian ink, and walnut stain, his pieces allude to natural, geological processes and phenomena.
The artist cites Asian art among his influences, as well as medicine, nature, and human gesture. After being introduced to art in his preparatory school in Castres, he went on to study at the Fine Art School in Nîmes. Lubienicki is a musician as well as a visual artist, currently living in France but traveling as often as possible.
