« I often have my head in my colors, but my feet are firmly planted on the ground. »
Benoît Guérin's work is resolutely abstract, where colors and materials meet in an instinctive and spontaneous impulse. His creative process, marked by urgency, alternates between construction, erasure, and recommencement.
"The subject of my paintings often appears despite myself; I let myself be drawn in by the material."
Working primarily with acrylics, he sometimes combines inks and walnut stain, blending the colors directly on the canvas. Painting on the floor, he physically immerses himself in the creative process, where each gesture—scraping, crushing, projecting—gives birth to vibrant and textured works.
Based in Vouillé, in the Deux-Sèvres region, he draws on the singular and irrational pleasure of painting: "Let yourself be carried away by your own feelings, as I let myself be guided by the material." Each canvas becomes a space of freedom, open to personal interpretations.
