OOH LA LA !! Mattin - Laurent Partarrieu Launch


OOH LA LA !!

Hepplestone Fine Art is delighted to announce the launch of the debut collection by acclaimed french artist Mattin-Laurent Partarrieu.
This fine collection of 6 Limited Edition prints are all from editions of 95 each.
We are sure his humorous observations of the french culture will become big hits with collectors.

In 2006, he recieved the great honour of entry into BENEZIT, the most important museum reference dictionary for acclaimed artists of all time.
His inclusion was a very rare and special achievement for a living artist.

" Totally and superbly figurative. His inspiration evolves from strict classicism to the fantastic realisation of the human personality, in his own remarkable way".....
Pierre Espil, Art Critic

Partarrieu draws on everyday life, visualising while going about his daily business, and some would proberably say while sleeping judging by some of the dream-like fantasy figures he offers to us. They shine with eroticism, and the vibrant optimism of his burning colour palette.

The artist has a love affair with the female form, which he joyfully handles with refinement and elegance. Although he undoubtedly portrays the female as an object of desire, he treats his subjects as equal parts sexuality and spirituality-often risque, but always with respect.

His art is alive with intelligence, irony and kindness, and breathes an air of sensuality and cheerfullness. The fluidity of his stroke allows him to push his analysis of the figure even further, and he seems to take great delight and fulfillment from his ability.
It is a rare occasion to be able to admire an artist who displays such a great joy of life, accompanied by such humour, and who expresses himself with such masterly use of paint".....
