Description from the seller
Oil/canvas, keyed professional frame, 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. Industrial designer by training, 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 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 material effects from the brush, fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world where he escapes, the moment a canvas. At the end of the road, the meeting of the creator and the viewer in a shared desire, the same quest.
