AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil/canvas, professional key-wedged frame, 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. An industrial draftsman 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, heat – through color and composition. Widely shown 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 oeuvre offers a sensory journey into the heart of nature.

Light, prints on canvases with painterly texture effects fully express his artist’s personality. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world where he escapes, for the moment of a canvas. At the end of the road lies the meeting of the creator and the viewer in a common desire, the same quest.
