Painting Civilisations by Auriol Philippe | Painting Figurative Mixed still-life

Wanting to practice working with light, Philippe Auriol decided to work with colour and shapes on Plexiglas very early on, multiplying the effects of mirrors, glimmers and textures. A trained engraver, the artist works on the image by following a process which goes from engraving wood and copper, to screen printing and then onto to acrylic painting. But it is the possibility of working on the inversed image that interests the painter the most and allows him to integrate the element of chance into his work that crystallises all creation: the brightness of the colours, the unveiled suppleness and harmony of their nuances which suggest a gesture that is simultaneously intuitive, proven and felt.
