"Color comes to me from a feeling of life, more than death."
A painter of the Narrative Figuration movement, Gérard Fromanger is a key figure in the artistic scene of the 1960s. The links he creates with various artists, writers, philosophers, and musicians offer a great source of inspiration, without which his work would not have evolved in the same way. Fromanger's work is characterized by a multitude of colored silhouettes, as well as a strong predilection for the color red which he exalts in his creations. The artist describes an urban universe, its codes and rites around themes associating art with freedom, as his work is meant to reflect the world around it. Between figuration and abstraction, shapes and colors, history and art history, silence and narration, Gérard Fromanger's painting presents, deciphers, and frees images and clichés of reality and “everyday mythologies”.
