Géométrie blanche

Etienne Gros favours warm colours, applied with broad, physical strokes. The drips intermingle, the pigment soaks in and accumulates, creating a living material tanned by successive scrapings. He seeks harmony in mixtures and separations, giving his flat areas an almost sculptural volume.
In Étienne Gros’s studio, painting is not a simple representation, but a sensory emanation where curves, lines and chromatic vibrations embody the powerful and voluptuous language of humanity.
