Indien Absaroke (2006) Painting by Sebastien Devore (Art-bracadabrac)

Sébastien Devore, a contemporary French artist, was born in Paris in 1974 and spent two decades residing in Issy les Moulineaux before settling in Clamart. It was in Clamart where he established his workshop nook in his home, nestled under a canopy of vines that yield a delightful Clamartois wine.

From a young age, Sébastien displayed a passion for drawing, along with a keen interest in the works of the great masters of painting. His formal education in graphic arts took place in schools across Paris and the surrounding region, where he honed his skills in various printing techniques and the graphic chain. Concurrently, Sébastien pursued further artistic training through drawing and painting lessons for five years, expanding his repertoire of graphic techniques and broadening his artistic possibilities.

Sébastien's artistic journey took flight with his first exhibitions, drawing inspiration from the masterpieces of renowned painters such as Dali, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Tamara de Lempicka. This inspiration found expression in his series of paintings, which merge iconic artworks with elements of Geek Culture, cartoons, and other influences.

Beyond the realm of art history, Sébastien draws inspiration from the profound aspects of life that resonate with him, including the world we inhabit and the luminous beauty of nature, particularly the transformative power of stained glass.

His diverse body of work defies a singular logic, driven instead by the desire to convey emotion in various styles. Sébastien employs a range of mediums, including watercolor for its transparency, acrylic for its vibrant pigments, and oil for its softness and versatility in blending and glazing. Additionally, he has ventured into self-taught stone sculpture and photography, further expanding his artistic repertoire.

Sébastien Devore's artistry transcends boundaries, weaving together disparate influences and mediums to create works that evoke emotion and captivate viewers. With each piece, he invites audiences to explore the rich tapestry of his imagination and experience the world through his unique perspective.
