Postromanticism The Art of Passion - Claudia Moscovici

Info

David David Graux David Graux was born in Besançon, France in 1970, where he still lives and works. He has experimented with different styles before finding his own unique artistic touch. His main subject is the beauty and mystery of woman, evoked both through his sensual nudes and through the symbolic richness and Oriental motifs of his rich backgrounds. His paintings are, in effect, forms of tangible poetry. 27
Even David Graux’s titles exude poetry, let alone his evocative art. The shadow of the wind, Grazed sigh, The echo of a dream all suggest the last breath of Romanticism as it meets the impenetrable mystery of Symbolism. In each one of Graux’s paintings we can feel the poetry of Rimbaud, touched by the Orient and transported to our times. As in symbolic poetry, Graux’s art combines the accessible with the unintelligible. The beautiful nudes are palpably accessible: romantic, sensual, classic, in private poses that excite the curiosity, stimulating dream, but not desire. Yet the Oriental symbols-invented by the artist and belonging only to the language of his imagination-are ungraspable. They touch upon the playful and the abstract, never fading into mere background or ornamentation. On the contrary, they travel the surface of the paintings, functioning as background and foreground alikeas an enveloping atmosphere-to the ethereal nudes. David Graux’s art, like all forms of poetic expression, is inherently philosophical. It captures the essence of a significant aspect of human existence: the way in which what seems most transparent, accessible, real and temporal is simultaneously most illegible, distant and timeless. Deep within the human imagination-along with Hugo’s Contemplations, Baudelaire’s Correspondences and Rimbaud’s melodious symbols-we can find Graux’s tangible poetry. 28
