"Les racines du ciel", modern painting (2015) Painting by Jean-Pierre Vieville

Jean-Pierre Vieville, a French abstract artist, is engaged in a constant quest for balance in his work. For Vieville, balance is the key concept in his artistic process, where chance and deliberation, form and graphics, conformism and anarchy coexist in tension. His goal is not to find balance definitively, but to maintain the creative momentum required to seek it, avoiding the stagnation of a predictable cliché.

Vieville's art is marked by a dynamic interplay of random strokes and deliberate graphics, where form gradually emerges and colors find their place. Each element is carefully considered, as he moves between the extremes of excessive form and overwhelming graphics, too much variety and too much unity. This ongoing exploration is reflected in his use of movement and controlled energy, creating a sense of motion that captivates the viewer.

Inspired often by the mineral aspects of nature, Vieville's abstract paintings come to life, pulling the observer into unfamiliar paths of discovery. His work invites the viewer’s eye to circulate, engaging with the harmonized shades, precise lines, and an overall sense of movement that stirs emotion. In this way, his art prompts a dialogue between the viewer and the canvas, offering emotional responses to the perpetual balance he seeks.
