Yvan Philmer - Le bonheur de vivre

Photographer, poet and author of plays, this painter recreates a society that belongs only to him, where imaginary characters are driven by an unspeakable need for love.

Wobbling buildings, garlands, lights, birds, a man astride a lamppost, acrobats, traveling people, testify to an infinite tenderness in this universe with a backward-looking character and symbolic, which relies on deformations to release a real vibratory current. But without anamorphosis, with the desire to exalt love and freedom in a space where couples display their happiness.

The frankness of the colors in the service of a very rich iconography exacerbates this phenomenon of expressionist radiance and deformations which, ultimately, stimulate good humor and humanity. And these full, flamboyant images can be decoded as a projection into Philmer's whimsical landscape that cultivates a secret garden, populated by deliberately happy people.

The twisting of forms reveals an instability and a vitalism capable of opening up to more spiritual evocations. A work ultimately full of jubilation and evocations which made a good rating, in October 2019, at the Hôtel Drouot.
