Pârques (2012) Painting by François Benoit-Lison

Painter and sculptor, born in Granville (50) France in 1968.

In 1988 first sculpture exhibition in a figurative and contemporary style. He uses various materials such as clay, plaster, concrete, steel and polymers.
In 1990 his first oil painting exhibition is about woman, man, the world, in its design and construction.
From 1994 to 1996, he goes deeper into sculpture and figurative art with the painter and sculptor Papyo. At the same time, he meets with the painter Giger during an exhibition in Chavanes, Nyon (Switzerland) who arouses a strong attraction for « art macabre ».
In 1998, he meets with the painter Archiguille with whom he reaches transfiguration and from there follows a personal approach conducting to an art work full of emotions, expressing tumult and deep revival.

For the artist, painting is a kind of personal adventure...to catch a vision which expresses sensitivity, an inner world meaning movements, the black and the colors, the abstraction to express his dreams, his rage, the world’s ills.

Pollock, Le Caravage, Schiele, Giger, Archiguille as well as Bosch are major references for the artist.
After working with acrylic, he now works mainly with tar and oil.
