Marine art Figuration Libre
Francois Boisrond is a contemporary French painter. He studied from 1977 to 1980 at the National School of decorative Arts. In 1981 he became involved in the Free Figuration movement. Inspired by visual products (advertising products, posters, stickers, video games etc.), cartoon characters, and by using acrylic paint, Francois Boisrond’s works are colourful, figurative and enigmatic, and his simplified shapes are often outlined in black. He portrays mainly characters, frequently symbolic in everyday situations, but he also depicts urban, maritime or rural landscapes. Besides this Boisrond creates humanitarian and publicity posters. Since the 1990’s the artist has become interested in an imaginary public and the everyday life that invades each and every one of us.
