“The primary purpose of matter is not to give a sense of volume to the work. It must be left in its imprint state; it must remain, nevertheless, as a founding part of the project; upon contact with it, the work comes to life.”
Marc Leforestier is a French artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and internationally. For him, colors and shapes are the foundation of abstract painting. He primarily expresses himself on wood or thick linen canvases. These supports allow him to feel closer to reality and thus find greater balance in his work. He uses various media such as binders, plaster, acrylic, charcoal, pencils, rare pigments, varnishes, and collage in his artistic process.
