Gerard Valtier - Wonderful mirage

Beautiful oil on hardboard painting/ artwork by French artist Gerard Valtier (1950) entitled "Mirage merveilleux"
Dimensions: height 90cm - width 71cm - thickness 5cm and weight 13kg500
Description of Valtier's work: Bubbling with colours, sparkling, blazing, molten gold: the whole mystery of Gerard Valtier's painting lies in the action of this colourful living chemistry, in which the thickening layer of the glaze captures the reflections of the light, which gradually becomes incandescent. The contrasting blue and yellow, essentially naturalistic colours - characteristic of the Impressionist palette - create a sense of dazzling that emit their own light and directly imitate the natural effects of light itself. The property of colour, the interaction of colours and their ability to create a little light, are therefore certainly the basis of Valtier's work. The artist can paint anything: barges along the quay, the bustling crowd, Venice and its carnival, the bride and her procession - his entire painting in the sign of the party. Unlike Renoir or Cézanne, Valtier does not hesitate to use black as a real colour, not one designed to soften or drain the pure colour, as in the shadows. One will also appreciate the energetic work of the brush to describe the foliage or the luminous backgrounds that are irradiated with numerous vibrant colors. Valtier has had exhibitions all over the world and has received many awards. He paints from his studio in Arles, France. He is listed in Mayers, Akoun, La Côte des Peinteres, Bordas International and Financial Art. Marvellous wonder
