Début du chemin (2020) Painting by Jean-Marc Chapelet (jeanmarchapelet)

Self-taught painter who began to paint in adolescence.

It is only as the color overlaps, drying times, transformations, erasures, scrapings, underlinings that the work develops gradually until the search for the point of balance. which will determine the end of the work. In the end, the final work (the one we can see) may just be a misleading image...
