Form\u00e9 aux Beaux-Arts de Valence, Thomas Groslier, n\u00e9 en 1957, est un peintre contemporain rattach\u00e9 \u00e0 la Figuration Libre, un mouvement qui revendique une peinture libre, spontan\u00e9e et personnelle. Il s\u2019en distingue toutefois radicalement par l\u2019absence d\u2019influence de la bande dessin\u00e9e.<\/span><\/p>\n

Son travail s\u2019enracine dans une tradition picturale exigeante, o\u00f9 l\u2019\u00e9motion et l\u2019intuition priment sur les codes et les syst\u00e8mes. Son parcours t\u00e9moigne d\u2019une qu\u00eate constante d\u2019authenticit\u00e9 et d\u2019une pratique r\u00e9solument tourn\u00e9e vers l\u2019essentiel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expositions<\/strong>\u00a0 Son \u0153uvre a \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9e dans divers lieux, en France, galeries et mus\u00e9es. Retrouvez l\u2019ensemble de ses expositions ICI<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Une peinture figurative, libre et intuitive<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Pour lui, la peinture, c\u2019est faire ce qu\u2019on veut, le plus personnellement possible, sans se soucier de plaire ou de prouver. C\u2019est s\u2019amuser, rester d\u00e9contract\u00e9, et laisser l\u2019image surgir, sans filtre ni calcul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ses sujets sont multiples et impr\u00e9visibles : portraits, baigneuses, paysages, natures mortes, d\u00e9cors ou sc\u00e8nes de genre. Tout peut devenir d\u00e9clencheur d\u2019imaginaire : une silhouette aper\u00e7ue dans la rue, un jardin, une vieille toile oubli\u00e9e, une promenade \u00e0 Paris. Rien n\u2019est pr\u00e9m\u00e9dit\u00e9. Les id\u00e9es d\u00e9barquent, l\u2019artiste les saisit au vol. Pas de logique, pas de syst\u00e8me \u2013 juste l\u2019instant o\u00f9 l\u2019image s\u2019impose, sans explication ni permission.<\/span><\/p>\n

La technique : petits formats, temp\u00e9ra et sobri\u00e9t\u00e9<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

L\u2019artiste privil\u00e9gie les petits formats<\/strong>, plus intimes, plus directs. Il travaille principalement l'huile ou la temp\u00e9ra<\/strong> \u2013 une technique sophistiqu\u00e9e, charg\u00e9e d\u2019histoire, qu\u2019il m\u00eale parfois \u00e0 l\u2019huile. La temp\u00e9ra, par sa pr\u00e9cision et sa luminosit\u00e9, permet une application r\u00e9guli\u00e8re des couches, une facture lisse et sobre<\/strong>, sans emphase gestuelle. Les supports (toile, bois, carton) sont le plus souvent pr\u00e9par\u00e9s par ses soins, renfor\u00e7ant le lien physique avec l\u2019\u0153uvre.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sa palette, restreinte et froide<\/strong> (bleus, gris, verts), accentue le caract\u00e8re \u00e9nigmatique et onirique de ses compositions. L\u2019image se doit d\u2019\u00eatre imm\u00e9diatement lisible<\/strong>, presque neutre, pour laisser toute sa place \u00e0 l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9motion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chez Thomas Groslier, pas de d\u00e9monstration de virtuosit\u00e9, pas de \u00ab moi je sais faire mieux que les autres \u00bb. Juste une peinture libre, spontan\u00e9e et sinc\u00e8re<\/strong>, o\u00f9 chaque tableau est une r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 un \u00e9lan int\u00e9rieur, une image jaillie de l\u2019inconscient ou inspir\u00e9e par le quotidien. Une \u0153uvre qui invite \u00e0 voir le monde avec curiosit\u00e9, l\u00e9g\u00e8ret\u00e9 et profondeur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biography<\/strong><\/span>
Trained at the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts in Valence, Thomas Groslier (born in 1957) is a contemporary painter associated with the Figuration Libre movement, a generation of artists for whom painting is \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0436\u0434\u0435 all an act of freedom, spontaneity, and individuality. He nevertheless stands apart from the movement through the absence of comic-strip influence in his work.His work is rooted in a demanding pictorial tradition, where emotion and intuition take precedence over codes and systems. His career, detailed here, bears witness to a constant search for authenticity and a practice resolutely focused on the essential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exhibitions<\/strong><\/span>
His work has been exhibited in various venues in France, in galleries and museums. Find the full list of his exhibitions HERE<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A figurative, free, and intuitive painting<\/span><\/h3>\n

For him, painting means doing whatever one wants, as personally as possible, without worrying about pleasing or proving anything. It means having fun, staying relaxed, and letting the image emerge, without filter or calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n

His subjects are multiple and unpredictable: portraits, bathers, landscapes, still lifes, settings, or genre scenes. Anything can spark the imagination: a silhouette glimpsed in the street, a garden, an old forgotten canvas, a walk in Paris. Nothing is premeditated. Ideas arrive suddenly; the artist seizes them on the fly. No logic, no system\u2014just the moment when the image imposes itself, without explanation or permission.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technique: small formats, tempera, and restraint<\/span><\/h3>\n

The artist favors small formats, more intimate and more direct. He works mainly in oil or tempera\u2014a sophisticated, historically rich technique that he sometimes combines with oil. Tempera, through its precision and luminosity, allows for an even application of layers, a smooth and restrained finish, without gestural emphasis. The supports (canvas, wood, cardboard) are most often prepared by the artist himself, reinforcing the physical bond with the work.<\/span><\/p>\n

His palette, restrained and cool (blues, grays, greens), accentuates the enigmatic and dreamlike quality of his compositions. The image must be immediately legible, almost neutral, in order to leave full space for interpretation and emotion.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Thomas Groslier, there is no display of virtuosity, no \u201cI can do better than others.\u201d Just free, spontaneous, and sincere painting, where each work is a response to an inner impulse\u2014an image springing from the unconscious or inspired by everyday life. A body of work that invites us to see the world with curiosity, lightness, and depth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
