. Painting is the stake of an existential dialogue for the painter François Neveux (born in 1965). The cosmic breath that crosses his paintings can be neither interpretive, nor comparable to a visual transposition. The original forces find formal and pictorial equivalences to their presupposed physiological presences.
It is from an intuitive and powerful gesture, in constant tension, that twilight tornadoes are written. It is our whole being that is summoned by oscillatory movements. The lyricism which underlies each intervention of the brush sweeps the frothy surface. Sky and ocean unite in this abstract view of the universe. The deep blacks gradually light up with subtle gleams, the thicknesses are distilled with virginal fluidity. Between an original force and the inconsistency of light, a balance is established, precarious and yet very real between what we see, what we know, what we imagine, what we projects intuitively. With the independence necessary for his work, François Neveux develops variations that must be experienced. They are so many systoles which animate and make vibrate his painting.
