In this composition, Doutreleau captures the essence of movement and speed, central themes of his work. Born in 1938 in Arles, the artist is recognized for his dynamic landscapes that explore the dispersion of light and motion.
"Le Cockpit" perfectly illustrates this fascination, offering the viewer an immersion into the aeronautical universe, where the lines and shapes suggest the perspective from a cockpit in full action.
Pierre Doutreleau was born on June 14, 1938. Native of Arles, he grew up in the light that dazzled Van Gogh, Cézanne, and so many other painters.
Pierre Doutreleau discovered Nicolas de Staël in 1958 at his friends Aublet’s, 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 contract in 1964.
In 1968, during a stay in the United States, he had the revelation of what would become the focus of his research: Speed and Movement.
A specific approach to painting tied to a 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 sometimes my canvases give the impression of stillness, it is because, in reality, they emanate from movement. I paint moments of precise lives," 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 figure in many collections. From that date, many solo exhibitions followed in sequence. 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.
