D224 (2011) Painting by Franck Chambrun

Franck Chambrun is a contemporary French painter. He began by focusing on the human figure, particularly the energy, tension, and vibration of the line, before moving on to color and material, which led his experimentation. He became interested in urban scenes after that. Those were unprocessed transcriptions of locations observed on the Internet, a virtual voyage through cities in which people are always moving.

The first large-format paintings were created using overhead projections of various elements (urban and human). Then the creative process became completely unrestricted, and the architectural environment became the primary focus. Only the shapes of human beings were visible. Then they took the first brightly colored spot. Streets and buildings were remodeled into abstract shapes. The text then displayed as a sign. Graphic signs, city sounds, and human discussions are all made up of words. Since 2010, he's been focusing his research on abstract rhythms, which he sees as indicators of a changing society.

Franck Chambrun was born in 1970, in France. He exhibited his work in France and Belgium.
