Les Alpilles Painting by Yves Lac

YVES LAC
Yves Lac is a self-taught French painter who gradually trained through travel, experience and practice. Passionate about the sea and landscapes, his main sources of inspiration, the artist develops expressionist painting. His approach thus borrows some of its landmarks and referents from reality and from the imaginary the evocation of the inner world and emotion.
Practicing to transcribe in painting his favorite themes, the coast, the markets, the villages, the oceans, the seas and the navigation, Yves Lac favors a practice of painting on motif or on model when the conditions allow it. He thus traveled and set up nomadic and ephemeral workshops along the French coasts and main ports and islands.
"Yves Lac is a painter in love with the sea, it is a passion that provides him with a mobile but constant escape on the World which invites us to travel". Seizing an impression, soaking up an atmosphere, a sound, a smell, are the starting point of a practice that stylizes reality to achieve greater expressive intensity. Yves Lac indulges in his work almost to a confidence, the total projection of a subjectivity faced with the emotion of a landscape, in the feeling of loneliness facing the sea, in the vertigo facing the waves or the immensity , so many universal subjects that find their author here.
