Lucas Talbotier

Lucas Talbotier was born in 1994 in Paris, France. After spending his childhood abroad in China and South Africa, he obtained a degree from the Beaux-Arts of Paris in 2018 and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design (USA) in 2017. He currently lives and works in Paris.

Lucas Talbotier's pictorial work revolves around a sensitive attention to the physical nature of light, arrangements of colors, and the balance of forms that are both simple and expressive. Behind an apparent abstraction, his paintings retain memories of landscapes. These works are memories, fragments of what remains of immaterial sensations. They are not about what one sees, but rather about the trace left by lived experiences.

The paintings of Lucas Talbotier are the result of attentive and patient observation, reflecting on the passage of time, characterized by erasure and overlay. The visible then occupies its rightful place as a process of light sedimentation, a transmutation with matter. His paintings emerge like salt born from time spent under the sun.
