Description

Urban landscapes and seascapes by the French artist François Avril.

Born in 1961, François Avril began his career as an illustrator, working for the press, advertising (Chanel, Hermès, John Lobb, Paris Plages) and children's books. Working on small formats as well as large canvases, he always explores techniques and reinvents his artistic practice. Yet his two favourite subjects remain constant: cities and seasides. Inspired by major capital cities (Paris, New York, Brussels, Tokyo) and the natural beauty of Brittany's coastline, Avril creates landscapes, working with his memory and the imprint of the emotions he has felt. His poetic universe balances realism and abstraction, line and volume, monochrome and colour.

The book presents seascapes and urban landscapes by the artist; numerous sketches illustrate his creative process, which is explained in an essay by François Landon.
