AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil/canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 70 x 100, diptych 70 x 50 + 70 x 50, 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. A trained industrial designer, he dedicated himself fully to painting at the end of the 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 aims 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 brush-made textures fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world from which he escapes, for the moment of a canvas. At the end of the path lies the meeting of the creator and the viewer in a shared desire, the same quest.
