ISLAND MINERAL AWAKENING III
The sea and islands are a constant source of inspiration for GRATALOUP.
In 1989, he took up the drawings he made at Belle-Île-en-Mer in 1983 and created a series of very powerful works by the force of materials and colors, directly taken out of the tube or spread out in casts on the canvas.
This year will show a real evolution in his painting. From that date, the materials will be very present and denser.
This series will be exhibited at Galerie Bellecour (Lyon) the same year.
"From clarity to disappearance … Like everything else, the island is on the move. The colour of light pushes matter from its enlightened phase to the loss of sight. Immensity is its dissociation or its charge."
