Paysages, une expérience sensible
LOUIS BLONDIAU
Louis BLONDIAU
Louis BLONDIAU is a Belgian landscape painter. He paints in oil on hardboard and uses the scratch technique. His works are painted in a variation of greys because, according to him, ‘the elimination of colour can allow viewers to discover the landscape on a deeper level’.
Many of his paintings depict forests, mountains or oceans, but their real subject is space. These paintings invite viewers to immerse themselves in the spaces they create, transcending the typical dualistic perception of reality where a subject observes an object.
‘I hope my painting will encourage viewers to let go, to surrender to the expanse of space, both the immediacy of what is near and the immensity of what is beyond, and to reconnect. This reconnection between ourselves and the world should bring the viewer a sense of calm and belonging.’
