L'amateur d'art

Floc’h’s clear line style hints at abstraction, and his compositions respond well to enlargement on a grand scale. Like Hergé before him, in “Tintin au Tibet”, he is fascinated by the properties of white, a colour popularly seen as a representation of emptiness, or of the void. In Floc’h’s coded world, the figure of the artist often seems to resemble Yves Klein, though he might paint in the manner of Floc’h. For his part, the art-lover is portrayed in a well-tailored suit. Floc’h’s drawing, loaded with whispering references and allusions, remains a serene and satisfying composition.
