AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Oil on canvas, on stretcher, 40 x 40 cm, 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 designer, he dedicated 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 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 work offers a sensory journey to the heart of nature.

Light, impressions on canvas with tactile effects from the brush fully express his personality as an artist. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world in which he escapes, for a moment of a painting. At the end of the road, the meeting between the creator and the spectator in a shared desire, the same quest.
