Frédéric Bouffandeau: Paysages - solo show
The Oniris gallery begins its new year programme by hosting “Paysages” (Landscapes), a new solo exhibition by Frédéric Bouffandeau. The artist continues his sensitive exploration of colour, light and the relationship with living things through a series of works that reinvent the very notion of landscape.
For several years, Bouffandeau has been developing a unique formal vocabulary: vibrant painting, constructed in layers, with plays on transparency and rhythmic variations. In Paysages, he deploys this pictorial language like a territory to be explored. His compositions, both organic and mental, sketch out interior horizons where nature becomes a pretext for a perceptive experience.
Neither faithful representation nor pure abstraction, these landscapes occupy an in-between space. They evoke silhouettes of vegetation, sheets of light, suspended spaces. Color, omnipresent, acts as a living phenomenon: it breathes, moves, unfolds, inviting the eye to circulate across the surface of the painting.
The exhibition presents a collection of recent works—canvases, papers, and neon lights—that demonstrate Bouffandeau's evolution toward a more expansive, atmospheric style of painting, in which the material seems to be animated by its own energy.
With Paysages, Frédéric Bouffandeau offers visitors a sensory journey, an immersion into a world where perception becomes poetic experience. The Oniris gallery becomes a place of dialogue between color and space, between gaze and imagination.
