AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil/canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 30 x 70, unframed.
Jean-Claude Barthel is a self-taught French abstract artist known for his vibrant, elemental paintings inspired by the forces of nature: water, air, earth, and fire. Trained as an industrial designer, he devoted himself fully to painting in the late 1970s after settling in Auvergne. Barthel’s works, often in oil or acrylic, feature rich textures, layered glazes, and bold gestures that convey energy and emotion. His art seeks to evoke sensations—light, movement, warmth—through color and composition. Widely exhibited in France and Europe, notably in Paris, Vichy, and Vienna, his paintings are held in private collections and represented by several galleries such as ETRU and SIMPARGA. Barthel’s work offers a sensory journey to the heart of nature.

Light, impressions on canvases with textured brushwork fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world into which he escapes, if only for the duration of a canvas. At the end of the road lies the encounter between creator and spectator in a shared desire, the same quest.
