Philippe Meslin

Impassioned drawing and attracted by the graphic arts since l?enfance, I practise l?encre of China and the charcoal during many years. In 1990, after having spent three years on the coast d?azur, I return to Brittany with colors and landscapes full the head and I decide to put color on my?uvres; I m?inscris with the fine arts of RENNES or j?y learn the bases from painting during two years. In 1993, I m?inscris with l?atelier of CHANTEPIE or I works on various compositions, but l?essentiel of my artistic formation will be an autodidact. Very quickly, I feel the need d?une expressive freedom and decides to only paint in my workshop, of the marine landscapes resulting from my imagination, but so met at the time of voyages. After having tested various techniques (Acrylic resin, pastels, watercolour?etc.) the matter that I privilege aujourd?hui is l?huile, on fabric or paper. My style of painting, I would define it by a manner of painting: Spontaneous, creative, instinctive. My sometimes figurative, sometimes abstracted painting or even both, represents the principal elements of our ground, I am very inspired by the landscapes of bay of the Mount-Saint-Michel where j?ai last my childhood. What m?interess, c?est the perpetual change of the colors in these landscapes, the sea unceasingly moving which go up and which goes down according to the tides, each second a new sight appears in front of your eyes. After ten d?années regular work, I take part by selection in various regional shows like THORIGNE FOUILLARD and CESSON SEVIGNE and carries out some exposures in the area. Painting is for me average a d?évasion and of unbounded communication. Each news?uvre generates l?étonnement and the surprise. The success and the perfection do not n?existent in painting, research, the reflexion and the handing-over in question is permanent.
