Born in 1989 in France, French artist Anthony J. Moreau is influenced by the artistic traditions of France from the Belle Époque to post-impressionism. After mastering narrative drawing, he delves deeper into the wellspring of all inspiration: emotion. His exploration extends to the language of visual art, encompassing graphic choices, compositions, and the nuanced qualities of oil painting and other mediums.
In an era of constant visual overload, artist Anthony J. Moreau remains vigilant, continuously collecting ideas, tones, textures, objects, and subjects over an extended period. He then organizes these elements into digital collages. From these sometimes intricate amalgamations of ideas and images, primarily sourced from the web, the artist seeks out ideal and harmonious compositions. These compositions occasionally defy the objective laws of perspective and scale, evoking the ineffable.
Anthony J. Moreau, through his artistic process, bridges the gap between tradition and innovation. His collages serve as documentation and references for oil paintings, predominantly executed on medium-grain linen canvases. These canvases are imbued with a visual language inherited from French painting spanning from the 1830s to the present day. He explores this language through independent series of works or triptychs. In his expressive brushstrokes and thoughtful compositions, he captures the essence of human experience. His art invites viewers to contemplate the interplay of form, color, and emotion, transcending both time and place.
