Mixed Media on Canvas Edition: Unique. Unframed. Ludovic Dervillez is a French abstract painter. His work explores the amalgamation of spontaneity, materiality, and emotion through a visual display of color and dynamic gestures. His work typically features painterly strokes alongside jagged contours and geometric forms—sometimes overlaid with written text. The artist embraces accidents and takes advantage of unexpected marks or traces to create an unrehearsed balance between shapes and colors. Dervillez considers all of his canvases connected, each painting a fragment bearing the continuity of the previous. Dervillez is driven by rhythm, energy and improvisation. The artist paints on several canvases simultaneously, until each one achieves its individual sense of realization and harmony. A major theme in his oeuvre is the passage of time; there is no intended narrative content, each painting is rather the visual result of compiled moments of action and observation.
