AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil/canvas, professional keyed stretcher, 40 x 40, unframed.

Jean-Claude Barthel is a self-taught French abstract artist known for his vibrant and elemental paintings inspired by the forces of nature: water, air, earth and fire. Trained as an industrial designer, he devoted himself entirely 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 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 brushwork texture, fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, fire. He builds a world in which he escapes, the moment of a painting. At the end of the road, the meeting of the creator and the viewer in a shared desire, the same quest.
