About Michel Buret:
Colors splash across French artist Michel Buretï¿½ s canvases, creating an urban vibe. In-your-face reds, blues, and yellows look gritty when paired with heavy doses of tar black. Like subway billboards, the canvases are largeï¿½ "up to 24" x 32"ï¿½ "and demand attention. Jagged lines zip up, down, and all around, as if refusing to be boxed in. The thrust of colors in bold, asymmetrical shapes creates movement. Buret propels you through the shifting perspectives of his work, hurrying you to get involved in the energy of each painting.
The complexity of the shapes shows thereï¿½ s labored thought in Buretï¿½ s process. More than just throwing paint at the canvas, Buret collages exquisite lines and arcs together. Influenced by ï¿½ ï¿½Piet Mondrian for his rigorous mind, Jackson Pollock for his ï¿½ ï¿½chaos,ï¿½ and Max Ernst for his incredible techniques,ï¿½ ï¿½ Buret creates works full of vigor. In Michel Buretï¿½ s works, the paint may have already dried, but the action hasnï¿½ t stopped.
