Gérard Fromanger (1939-2021)
Le désir est partout. La Montagne
1974 | Peinture acrylique sur toile | 201 x 150 cm
G. Fromager’s work belongs to the Figuration Narrative trend, which is inspired by media images and takes a critical look at the "mythologies" of his time.
The artist paints on a photographic image projected onto his canvas. This image becomes a painting that "speaks with its own language, its mystery, its magic". Against a background of black and grey, anonymous silhouettes and brightly coloured lines awaken a theatre of shadows. The Mountain is part of the series Desire is Everywhere, a very symbolic title for a passionate painter.
