Serge PLAGNOL<br />

Serge Plagnol was born on 12 January 1951 in Toulon.<br />

‘The work <strong>of</strong> Serge Plagnol, <strong>the</strong> painter, involves his sensitivity while<br />

maintaining a direct relation with history—that <strong>of</strong> his time because he<br />

talks about our world and <strong>the</strong> special world <strong>of</strong> history <strong>of</strong> art. His work<br />

always tends to be set in this twin perspective and in that <strong>of</strong> his elders.<br />

This is doubtless why he is so preoccupied by formal questions. Painting<br />

is a surface, a symbolic space that always comes back to <strong>the</strong> work site<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> present. This is why ra<strong>the</strong>r than defining itself in old categories<br />

Serge Plagnol’s work stresses <strong>the</strong> founding values <strong>of</strong> pictorial space, light<br />

and colours, signs and matter.’<br />
