Painting Herald Square evening by Faveau Adrien | Painting Figurative Urban Wood Oil

We often tend to associate beauty with rarity and ephemerality. On the contrary, Adrien Faveau constructs his aesthetic and pictorial world from what surrounds us, our daily environment, the objects with which we live, the landscapes that pass before our eyes every day, the urban furniture that we touch and on which we sit, the queues of cars at a stand still in a traffic jam, the buildings that are chained together, the hurried passers-by, the traffic lights, the information signs, the street lighting, everything that becomes tame to us in the end and that we no longer take the time to see. All of these forms symbolise the movement and the displacement of light for Adrien. Associated with a sunset, a shower or grey weather, these elements that side by side constitute the pictorial composition, are changed in their tones, their brightness and their reflection.
