Havard Benoit | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Benoit Havard is almost cinematic in his approach to colours and movements and begins by working on the background before adding more precise details, landscapes, characters and scenes of life. The most important endeavour is to create an atmosphere, more than to establish a specific place. The tingling feeling is brought about by the energy of the colours, which gives the artist great freedom. The artist chooses popular places such as the Garnier Opera, which are symbols and familiar references that Benoit Havard strives to free from their commonality. The regattas, the boats, the horse riders all make it possible to study movement. The harmony, from warm colours to blue greys, slowly pushes his creations towards abstraction.
