Description from the seller

In this composition, Doutreleau captures the essence of movement and speed, central themes of his work. The artist, born in 1938 in Arles, is recognized for his dynamic landscapes that explore the dispersion of light and motion.
"The Cockpit" perfectly illustrates this fascination, offering the viewer an immersion into the aeronautical universe, where the lines and forms suggest the perspective from a cockpit in full action.
Pierre Doutreleau was born on June 14, 1938. Originating from Arles, he grew up in that light that dazzled Van Gogh, Cézanne, and many other painters.
Pierre Doutreleau discovers Nicolas de Staël in 1958 among his friends the Aublets who help and encourage him to exhibit. Hélène Cingria introduces him to Lucile Manguin, who had just opened Galerie de Paris and who takes him on under contract in 1964.
In 1968, during a stay in the United States, he had the revelation of what would become the object 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 paintings 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, and from Paris to Los Angeles, from Tokyo to Munich or Rio, his works are in many collections. From that date, numerous solo exhibitions followed. 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.
