Eric Martinet | CV | Press Release | News | Press In his exhibition “Peinture par effraction” (Breaking into… Painting), Swiss artist Eric Martinet brilliantly combines and brings to life two places close to his heart: the city of Lausanne and the surrounding mountains. Drawn in an intimate and precise style, these two worlds are contained in a dozen sketchbooks that accompany the artist on his journey. In the beginning there was no intention to paint, only the need to reproduce and immortalize the emotions evoked by the splendour of his surroundings. Then painting “broke in” as an extension of his sketchbooks. The elation brought into the intimacy of drawing explodes in his paintings with an overflow of colour and light. The proximity of nature and the happiness in his paintings both reveal his own nature to the artist. |
