Self-taught, Alain Lamy began painting around the age of 18. His career began with a short figurative period, in which he used almost exclusively the oil wash technique. The paintings “Self-portrait with sculpture” or “Presence” are beautiful testimonies...
1978, he crossed paths with Jean Delétraz, a very talented painter: From this meeting a beautiful friendship was born and fruitful exchanges on art, in Jean's studio house in Yenne.
The following year, it was that of the painter André René Tardieu, in his workshop in Loisieux where he discovered the techniques old leaf gilding or the application of texturizing additives: (sand, charcoal, sawdust) which we will find happily used on many canvases from the 1980s… Pink horizon / Black and ashes / Blue morning /Infra-rose...
The 1980s, for the painter, were a period rich in often original creations, marked by work on color and material, in abstract, luminous landscapes, still lifes or scenes with characters, on which an undeniably “mystical” spirit breathes, the fruit of his “pilgrimages” in the perched citadels, Cathar high places in Occitanie, such as Montségur between 1986/1990. It is also an intense period with the Luchon/Voiron Autumn Salons, group exhibitions, and personal exhibitions between Belley/Chambéry and Aix Les Bains/Tresserve...
From In the 1990s, material difficulties no longer allowed him to fully continue his pictorial adventure; he nevertheless continued to express himself on more modest supports: hardboard, cardboard, recycled paper. From these experiments the concept of “Series” was born, such as the “Tension (A) 1995” sign series, and many other gouaches on kraft envelopes.
Following training and for a short period , he will be a stonemason (another dream) which inspires him to create abstract works treated with a building painter's knife, like the works of Nicolas de Staël, this struck-down giant, whom he places at the head of his models of reference.
“Art is the dream of humanity” said Romain Rolland… and to continue his dream, Alain invites himself into the pictorial universe of the ancient and modern Masters, which he has been fond of since his first brushstrokes... From Poussin to Matisse, to the Braque Picasso tandem... He would later produce totally unusual works, such as “Paintings Sculptures” as well as a “neo-cubist gallery” and studies for portraits of his favorite painters…
Have a nice visit to all of you
