Vincent Delpierre presents a series of paintings, some inspired by the spirit of the mountains, others by the poetry emanating from the enclosed garden that forms his everyday environment. Painter, draughtsman and gardener alike, the artist does not depict nature as he sees it, but rather as he feels it. In this representation drawn from the realm of childhood dreams, nothing appears chaotic. The landscape is organized, compartmentalized and fragmented into plots or territories, like the various pieces of a puzzle that the painter assembles and encapsulates within a well-structured composition. Winding paths, checkered grounds and impassable hedges become so many vanishing lines that articulate and play with perspective. A few architectural elements, concealed within this nature-landscape, provide a counterpoint. Although the Alpine peaks spread across the canvas never dissolve into total abstraction, the artist surprises us with the unusual linearity of colored bands firmly anchored in the composition, as well as with his use of a clearly geometric decorative vocabulary. With his characteristic patience, Vincent Delpierre methodically applies color through delicate touches placed side by side, forming small quadrilateral shapes of vibrant, luminous mosaics. Thus, through a gesture that is both serene and recurrent, the artist’s joyful reverie is reconstructed on the canvas.
