FRANCOIS AVRILAs a muld-­‐talented ardst, François Avril approaches illustradon and drawing as well as paindng. This heir of the clear line has gradually freed from the real to create composidons to the limits of abstracdon. Placing the city at the heart of his research, he works out cityscapes full of lightness and poetry that transcend reality to provide a dmeless elegance. Exploring the infinite graphic possibilides that make up the modern megacides, he captures on canvas or paper the essence of volumes and colors that compose them. Whether represendng dreamed or fantasy cides, the work of François Avril is an invitadon to travel. Against the dde of noisy and agitated urban atmospheres, it reigns in his composidons a strange serenity where the movement of the human wanderings seems suspended. Presse mappe I Seite 60
