les croches, Megeve (2006) Painting by Franck Allard

Born on October 4, 1965 in Megève in Haute-Savoie, in this splendid station of the French Alps, I, as of my childhood, was quite naturally attracted by the beauty of the landscapes and the upheavals of nature in the course of the years. My first chalenge was the competition, the high level ski. The drawing, painting and the sport were very complementary and of marvellous partner during all these years. Today I have just crossed a new step by opening a workshop in which I expose for the first time. The pencil, the charcoal, pastel them, oil or the acrylic resin belongs to my familiar tools. I use them according to my mood, my states of heart, my joy or my anger either quite simply according to the thickness or the color of time. The diversity of the topics which inspires to me transports me of one fabric to the other, often from a fabric towards the other, the ésquisses is born numerous, crosses, is entrechoquent, some disappear, others manage to open out. The support can change, but, achieved work, causes in me an intense exaltation, different from that which accompanies creation. I designed my workshop in Cogolin in the VAr where I live the beautiful days of the summer and the beautiful days of winter I remain faithful to Megève. Contemplative, admiring and with the listening of my environment my research is influenced by it, they fluctuates, surfent on the diversity of the topics, the matters and the supports. To laugh or tear, curiosity or thunderbolt, whatever it is, the shared emotion are the most beautiful reward which an artist can await from those which pay attention to him. Can we, one day to divide that together. Thank you for your visit and to accompany me in front right.
