Luca Curc
i talks with Jean-Marie Renault during FUTURE LANDSCAPES, the third appointment of BORDERS ART FAIR 2021, at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space.

Jean-Marie Renault’s paintings are the fruit of passion and spontaneity. Each painting is mesmerizing and invites you on a colorful and dynamic journey through our memories and feelings. The artist invites us to dream, in a moving universe where color acts as a muse. This user-friendly creativity encourages us to take a look at the smallest colorful detail and in this observation, we leave part of reality to enjoy the sensations and feelings that touch us.

LUCA CURCI – What is art for you?
JEAN MARIE RENAULT
– Art is an essential component of our life, we must think about it daily, it must accompany us throughout our lives. It is both futility, a distraction and also the very essence of our nature. This is what identifies the society as a civilization, which ultimately remains of humanity when time, destruction affects a society.

LC – Which subject are you working on?
JMR
– I’m working on space, time and urbanity.

LC – What is the most challenging part about creating your artworks?
JMR
– I find pleasure in the whole creation process, I have more trouble with the “commercial” part.

LC – What is your creative process like?
JMR
– In terms of form, anything that we encounter on a daily basis can become a graphic, pictorial contribution: a reflection, a light, a natural element like the trace of planes passing in the sky or on a starry night, sounds, vibrations of the city, a scrolling landscape, the music. I try to capture moments of life, after all this is transformed, and metamorphosed to give birth to a new composition. I work in a very free manner. I let my hand follow the rhythms and harmonies to the sound of music that I love. Then the shapes and colors draw spaces and depths. It is a painting based on emotions and feelings.

LC – How is being an artist nowadays?
JMR
– An artist absorbs all kinds of sensations he then transcribes them with his own sensitivity. Whatever medium he uses he brings a vision particular of an era, a situation, a societal or political opinion.

LC – What is the message linked to the artwork you have shown in this exhibition? How is it connected to the theme of the entire festival? JMR – My work emphasizes the growing abstraction of our universe, the dematerialization of being, in this century the individual is no more than a series of digital sequences. A statistics curve, a multidimensional graph where landscapes and sensations are lost. My work is related to the theme “FUTURE LANDSCAPES”: feeling painting and feeling emotions, graphic transcription, the metamorphosed vision of space and urban world.

LC – Do you agree with our vision of art and what do you think about the theme of the festival? JMR – Yes I really like the different themes addressed by the festival.

JMR
– The ITSLIQUID platform presents quality contemporary works and it is interesting to participate in presentations.

LC – Would you suggest a collaboration with us? What do you think about our services? Did you enjoy cooperating with us?
JMR
– Cooperation is interesting even though it’s hard to know what real impact have the exhibit. I am very happy to participate in the exhibition.

    Art | February 22, 2023

    Graziano Ferrari was born in Milan in 1958. His aptitude for drawing and painting is revealed early on, but many years will pass before it turns into a passion and becomes a profession. In fact, it was only at the time of his university studies that he made the decision to devote himself full time to painting. Supported by his family, who understood his need for him, he began the difficult path guided solely by the desire to find his own language that would allow him to bring out those contradictions that he was grasping and that he felt he had to clarify and denounce.
