François Charles lived and worked in Brussels.
François-Charles Bazelaire, a Frenchman from an old Lorraine family, who had only recently lived and worked a stone's throw from Brussels, at the foot of the castle of Beersel in Flemish Brabant, started painting about fifteen years ago. He travels a lot. For 30 years he collects the great Belgian and foreign abstracts. He visits galleries, studios and collectors, meets and becomes friends with the Belgian art historian Serge Goyens de Heusch and many artists of all kinds.
At the same time, he developed a passion for early art. After a few years of Academies, between 1999 and 2002 (Watermal-Boisfort, St Gilles and Ixelles) where he worked the nude on a live model, his work since then fits very clearly into the movement of lyrical abstraction and abstract expressionism. His chromatic writing is perceived in the heart, touches the senses head-on and speaks to us of emotions, vibrations and sensations, balance and disorder, tensions and serenity, but above all light, music and sometimes violent contrasts, but always in the deep and emotional feeling.
Bazelaire is not an "intellectual" painter in the first sense of the word, he functions from his innermost being, in his sharp perception of the world, of daily life, of his loves, of the intimate, of his vision of the relationship to the other, and his unwavering love for colour in which his sometimes tender but certainly more often violent pictorial vocabulary expresses itself completely with power and density. Bazelaire's palette is one of great freedom of movement, where clarity is king, of a beautiful freshness. You cannot help but feel his joy and zest for life, even in his (rare) black canvases Bazelaire tells us about light, density and emotions.
