Complémentaires. (2024) Painting by Ayel

Jacques Ayel is a contemporary French artist born in 1960. He graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in Le Mans and currently lives and works in Rennes, France, where he explores colors and materials in constantly renewed combinations. His artistic practice is centered on the journey between opposites, reflecting a dynamic interplay of contrasts.

Over time, Jacques's contemporary art has evolved through chromatic research, the revival of long-forgotten old techniques, and the invention of new methods. He engages with the evolution of materials while thematically reinterpreting timeless subjects, resulting in the emergence of new styles that encompass both figurative and abstract forms.

At the core of Jacques's work lies a quest for beauty and the expressive capacity of realities that transcend language. His abstract pieces serve as modes of perceptual synthesis, functioning as a historical segment and a means of spiritual communication that goes beyond formal or purely aesthetic criteria.

The thoughts, preliminary considerations, and selection criteria that inform his exhibited works are intended as gifts for the souls of family and friends, encapsulating the essence of his artistic vision and the depth of his exploration.
