SENTIER BATTU

Martin Chaumont is a graduate of the Beaux-Arts Liège and a painter. He juggles between reality and fiction of invented or visited images to create landscapes that jog our memories. In these paintings, we remember our wanderings. This show is sometimes very light ; it is often nebulous or hazy. The strokes are vague and bright, we ride along the paths. The lightning and the branches form motifs that irrigate the walls. Nearly everything is a shade of azure, jade and oak. The night is stormy, the day is blue.

A smell of linseed oil and turpentine floats in the space. Between oil paintings and charcoal canvas, a profusion of undergrowth and horizons mix up and overlap in the window. Certain images are hidden, everything looks tidy like books in a library. Are they the stages of our walk that we have to discover ? Are we in his studio ?

Martin Chaumont is represented by Quai4 Gallery in Liège.
