Hello, I'm Jean-Humbert S.
I paint for over 20 years ; I started painting by Hyper-realism and Trompe-l'oeil. I've learned the basics in a special course of decorative painting. The School of Trompe l'Oeil taught me discipline and a certain technique. Over time these have imprisoned me in limiting the freedom of my desires and my creative choices. I managed to free myself from this constraints by radically changing my way of painting on canvas : in 2013, acrylic, knife and abstract expressionism replaced oil, brush, and hyper realism. Frustrated for so many years my creativity has been very productive. Instead of showing everything to the viewer, I now give him a support to daydream based on color harmonies, perspectives, verticals and horizontals witch occupied space without ever clogging it. I introduced recently a new element in the composition of some of my paintings : sand Mixed with glue and used sparingly, it brings particular look in both effects, that in contrast. Still no or very few spheres and circle in my compositions, they break, I think, refinement that I seek and disrupt the harmony and elegance that I wish to give to my paintings ... All my works are protected by a high quality varnish, the edges are painted, usually in black and the paintings are ready to hang I'm currently exhibiting in my own Galery close to Cahors (Lot, France) I obtained on april 2017 the 2nd jury's price of the 5th Salon de Peinture Abstraite MY RANKART Exhibition of Art Online I've been featuring in the supplement of the British Art Book TALLULAH "15 contemporary artists to watch" in 2016 and I'm also been featuring in the SAATCHIARTI's printed Catalog.
