NOTICE
Roger-Edgar Gillet, a French painter associated with abstraction and Nouvelle Figuration, is renowned for his expressive, vibrant oils on canvas, exploring themes ranging from mythology to imaginary landscapes. His style is characterized by energetic gestures and bold colors, often applied in thick layers, giving his works an almost tactile intensity.
In his oil paintings, Gillet favors semi-abstract forms that oscillate between figuration and abstraction, where figures and organic elements seem to emerge from the chaos of lines and colors. Each canvas is an exploration of matter and movement, with rich textures and saturated colors that capture the energy of his painterly gesture. Inspired by elements of nature, history and symbolic narratives, Gillet creates compositions where the real and the imaginary meet.
Close to artists such as Jean Dubuffet for his raw approach to materials and Antonio Saura for his expressive brushstrokes, Roger-Edgar Gillet has established a unique signature in contemporary French painting. Today, his oil paintings are prized for their ability to evoke raw emotion and their intense pictorial quality, making each work as enigmatic as it is captivating.
