Pintura Portrait de Champagnac por Menant Alain | Pintura Figurativo Paisajes Aceite Acrílico

Outside, the party is in full swing. It was the era of the contemporary art festival that invaded the entire city with its music and exhibitions. Alain Menant, then 15 years old, speeds on his bike: "I put my bike down and turned around: the basin and the boats behind my back, in front of me under the arcades an illuminated display case with two or three large paintings". The world of Alain is at a turning point at this moment, and he understands that he cannot do without art. With all of his strengths, Alain Menant attempts to dilute the forms and contours in order to give priority to abstraction and to produce "works which contain instinct as much as the reasoned search for the beautiful and the respect of the ancient who were there before language existed."
