Description from the seller
Oil/canvas, on stretcher, 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 draftsman, he devoted himself fully to painting at the end of the 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 and impressions on canvas with textured brushwork fully express his artist’s personality. He loves water, air, earth, and fire. He constructs a world in which he escapes, if only for the moment of a painting. At the end of the road lies the meeting of creator and viewer in the same desire, the same quest.
