Creation of a series of works representing wonderful birds. No. 1 being the peacock, a majestic bird with blue feathers, according to Wikipedia: When it spreads its tail feathers in the shape of a fan, we say that the peacock “does cartwheels”; for Canadians, it is also a “wheeling peacock”. This wheel includes eye-shaped structures, which are therefore called ocelli. According to mythology, these are the hundred eyes of the giant Argus (in Greek Argos Panoptès, "he who sees everything"), which decorate his tail.
This pastel is a personal composition, made with dry pastels on pastelmat cardboard. This pastel was started during the exhibition "l'Atelier Mermet s'expose" in Cusset in Allier, in front of the public.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Brigitte Bouron, a contemporary French artist, embarked on her artistic journey under the tutelage of Jean-Claude Marc, a former student of the renowned sculptor Robert Mermet. For nine years, she immersed herself in the study of drawing and pastel, eventually becoming a teacher herself, passing on her knowledge through workshops and at the Robert Mermet Workshop in Cusset in Allier.

Bouron's artistic repertoire spans a variety of mediums, including portrait, pastel, oil, acrylic, and now, modeling. She continuously refines her craft by participating in exhibitions both in France and abroad, where she compares techniques and seeks inspiration from esteemed artists through workshops and training sessions.

Guided by a profound sense of freedom in her artistic expression, Bouron eschews thematic constraints and stylistic labels, preferring to follow the guiding light of her own creativity. For her, the essence of any artwork lies in its ability to emanate light and evoke a sense of luminosity.

After many years dedicated to her craft, Bouron's passion for art continues to deepen, fueled by the joy of sharing her experience and techniques with others. Witnessing the growth and evolution of those she mentors remains a source of immense fulfillment and inspiration for her artistic journey.
