Using the theme of the Montages d'Ardèche and his technique of tearing and tearing, GRATALOUP will create a new matrix that he will call "the Eye of the Painter I".

You can see the Ardèche mountains in the background wrapped in the prism of the painter’s gaze.

For the first time through this series, he will also integrate copper or gold leaf in his canvases above which he will affix writings from sentences, texts or poems.

The canvases in this series are today only in private collections.

"The painter unfolds his box of colors. His eye is the reflection of it. But the monochromatic landscape insists on the small presence of its design, though soon forgotten by the powerful polychromatic bubble of the painter’s eye."
