Luc Villard

I am a French painter, whose art has been featured in several solo and group exhibitions in France.
I exhibited at Eze Village in a gallery from 2011 to 2019. And I have now set up my workshop in Bretagne, France. I just went back to Eze Village this year to show my latest artworks.
My abstract pieces contain themes of hidden faces and invented languages. Street art and 'Les Shadocks' (a French animated cartoon created by Jacques Rouxel which aired 1968–1974) have also influenced my compositions.
Handling with the same ease pastel, acrylic, scissors, brush, I try to show my own vision of the world, to create my own reality.

Self-taught painter. I turned to painting about thirty years ago.
Over the years, meetings, exhibitions and personal events my painting has evolved.

I was inspired in my youth by the world of Shadocks (a French animated cartoon created by Jacques Rouxel which aired 1968–1974).
Then the first exhibition that I visited was an exhibition on the French Impressionists in Paris.
Then, I was influenced by the street art style and also by Jackson Pollock, Vassily Kandinsky, Jean Michel Basquiat and by many others that I do not know.
