AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil/canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 80 x 60, 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. An industrial draftsman by training, 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 brushstrokes 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.

The light, the impressions on canvases with textural brushwork fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world in which he escapes, for the duration of a painting. At the end of the path lies the meeting of the creator and the spectator in a shared desire, the same quest.
