Fountain - Still Life

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Throughout his work, the painter Fontaine consistently adheres to a cursive, immediate stylistic form, which consistently ensures a freshly executed representation. In particular, rather than a structural function of color, Fontaine prefers a more diluted technique, with transparent glazes, which tends toward a rarefied and ethereal lyricism. From a palette perspective, the artist stands out for his use of bright, luminous colors.

Fontaine, the author of this painting, is an artist deeply influenced by post-Impressionist painting. His language is extremely synthetic and based on the expressive values ​​of color.
