In this composition, Doutreleau captures the essence of movement and speed, central themes of his work. The artist, born in 1938 in Arles, is known for his dynamic landscapes that explore the dispersion of light and motion.
"Le Cockpit" perfectly illustrates this fascination, offering the viewer an immersion in the aviation world, where the lines and shapes suggest the perspective from a cockpit in full action.
Pierre Doutreleau was born on June 14, 1938. A native of Arles, he grew up in the light that dazzled Van Gogh, Cézanne, and many other painters.
In 1958, Doutreleau discovered Nicolas de Staël at friends Aublet who helped him and encouraged him to exhibit. Hélène Cingria introduced him to Lucile Manguin, who had just opened the Galerie de Paris and who took him on under contract in 1964.
In 1968, during a stay in the United States, he had the revelation of what would become the object of his research: Speed and Movement.
A specific approach to painting linked to the passion for movement, life, wind, and the wind of life.
"What interests me, in reality, is to paint the wind. In life, everything is movement. And if at times my canvases give the impression of stillness, it is because, in fact, they emanate from movement. I paint moments of precise life", Pierre Doutreleau.
Since those years, numerous solo exhibitions have made Pierre Doutreleau known worldwide, from Paris to Los Angeles, from Tokyo to Munich or Rio, his works appear in many collections. From that date, numerous solo exhibitions followed. His native Burgundy is for him the essential source of inspiration. Nature matters greatly to him; his bouquets of flowers are among the most extraordinary representatives.
