“I use false symmetry, false perspectives, all carefully considered and arranged.”
In his paintings, Pierre Boncompain (1938, FR) searches for beauty, happiness and harmony. His work shows a wide combination of modern influences. He combines a radiant and cheerful brightness of light, with a simplicity and division of form. He views his motifs from above, from the sky, detached from gravity. Although the paintings were produced in Paris, the sunny scenes suggest they were painted in Provence. Boncompain’s work is always festive; with fiery and earthy colors it shows the joy of life with a Mediterranean vibrancy.
