AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas, stretched on a frame, 40 x 40, 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 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 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.

The light, impressions on canvas with textured brushwork fully express his artistic personality. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He builds a world from which he escapes, for the moment of a painting. At the end of the journey lies the meeting of the creator and the spectator in a shared desire, the same quest.
