Chambon | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

The French artist Michel Chambon's approach to painting takes shapes with curves and great subtlety, sensuality and voluptuousness. The artist began making pictures at a very young age in his father's atelier and later, during a trip to Paris, discovered the French movement CoBrA also known as the International Organisation of Experimental Artists (IAE) created in 1948 in response to a dispute between abstract painting and figure painting. In his work, Michel refutes the academic and reductive distinction between figurative and abstract painting and creates a kind of "dream realism", attempting thereby to materialise and capture the psychic world, the world of esotericism and that of imagination. He depicts the silhouettes of women, pleasure, sensuality, euphoria and passion and mixes their energies in an epic whirlwind.
