Renaud Gilles' painting is expressive. It engages the body, the space, involving movement, the relationship to the void. The artist works on raw linen canvas which he sometimes leaves free to preserve freedom of movement. The canvas is mixed with this painting evoking the gestural and emotional intensity of American expressionism. The series of prints is more framed because it is a precise element that the artist invites us to look at, to feel. His progressive painting takes us elsewhere and invites us to take a deep breath.
