Samourai

Se servant de toutes les subtilités de l’aquarelle Jean-Marc Schwaller nous présentera des oeuvres fortes et séduisantes dès le premier regard.

Confrontant le spectateur à une série de grands formats, plutôt rare dans la technique qu’il s’est choisie et dans laquelle il excelle, Jean-Marc Schwaller s’est inspiré du samouraï. Non pas du personnage de légende que l’on ne retrouvera pas dans ces oeuvre, mais du geste de celui-ci, noble, tranchant, cérébral autant que physique, d’exécution rapide comme l’éclair, éclatant.

Samurai

Being useful itself of all subtleties of the watercolour Jean-Marc Schwaller will present strong and tempting works to us as of the first glance.
Confronting the guest with a series of large sizes, rather rare in this technique which he chose and in which he excels, Jean-Marc Schwaller took as a starting point the the samouraï. Not of the character of legend which we will not find in these work, but gesture of this one, noble, edge, cerebral as much as physics, of fast execution like the flash, bright.

Pour rester dans un langage musical, ses grandes aquarelles se présentent plutôt comme des symphonies, à la recherche d’accords entre tous les registres, de légers effleurements laissant s’exprimer le grain du papier et dialoguant en parfaite harmonie avec des plages colorées plus compactes.

En contrepoint aux vigoureux samouraïs, il y a des petits formats, résonnant comme des formations de chambre, dans lesquels il a posé ses couleurs comme un orfèvre sur des bijoux précieux.

Jean-Marc Schwaller is not a figurative painter, even if its attention in the real world nourishes its work since always and undoubtedly in a way more significant than in the past.
In its compositions you can find deep blue, illuminated yellow spots, coppered, rusts, green foams, anthracites are as many chromatisms which suggest vegetable or mineral places, watery and perhaps celestial, impressed sometimes certain theatricalness. In this connection it is not uninteresting of knowing that it carried out the decorations of several operas, " Carmen ", " Don Giovanni ".

To remain in a musical language, its large watercolours are presented rather in the form of symphonies, in the search of agreements between all the registers, of slight touches letting be expressed the grain of paper and dialoguing in perfect harmony with more compact coloured ranges.

In counterpoint with the vigorous samouraïs, there are small sizes, resonant like small formations, in which he posed its colors like a goldsmith on invaluable jewels.
