Icare (2017) Painting by Alain Le Junter

Alain Le Junter is a contemporary French painter. His works are similar to Narrative Figuration and lend themselves to a plural reading. Characters, animals, items set in an intentionally broken space, with interlacing, signs engraved in the pictorial layer, or even bits of highly realistic craftsmanship, all appear in his figurative works.

On a technical level, there are various pictorial layers, coatings or pastings of paper on the canvas to give it the texture and thickness required for engraving, gold leaf, and paints with saponified wax as a binder. As a result, his reflection on painting is not only a search for meaning, but also for syntax, a personal plastic writing.  

Alain Le Junter was born in 1952, in France, where he graduated at the University of Paris and got a license in Plastic Arts.
