Guy Bardone (1927-2015) - Neige

This painting by Guy Bardone exudes great poetic force in the way it transforms a simple landscape into a sensitive and living scene. The trees, treated with dark masses and rapid gestures, convey a sense of movement despite the immobility of the setting. The snow, laid on in broad light strokes, brings a soft light that contrasts with the density of the trunks. The colors, sober yet nuanced, blend ochres, grays, greens and a few brighter accents that animate the whole. One senses here the pleasure of the material, with thick paint that allows the brushstroke to show. The composition, both free and structured, guides the eye toward the back of the painting without ever freezing it. The landscape seems almost to envelop the viewer, as if one entered the silence of the place. This work expresses an intimate, fragile, contemplative winter atmosphere. It gives as much to see as to feel, through its balance between the energy of the gesture and the softness of the light. It is a painting that celebrates nature with sensitivity, simplicity and depth.
