AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil/canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 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. Trained as an industrial draftsman, 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 gestures that convey energy and emotion. His art seeks to evoke sensations—light, movement, warmth—through color and composition. Widely exhibited in France and across Europe, notably in Paris, Vichy and Vienna, his canvases are held in private collections and represented by galleries such as ETRU and SIMPARGA. Barthel’s work offers a sensory journey to the heart of nature.

Light, impressions on canvas with textured 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 moment of a canvas. At the end of the road, the meeting of the creator and the viewer in a shared desire, the same quest.
