Criticism

A well-travelled painter always holds considerable appeal for those who love authentic works, especially when the artist possesses remarkable talent in describing his expeditions through the magic of exceptional drawings. And this is the case with Gilles Lebreton’s astonishing and admirable graphites, which are stunning in their intensity and vitality. Moreover, this appeal is confirmed and strengthened in beautiful and pure watercolours and oils, the latter being firmer but every bit as noteworthy. Although we can commend the artist’s technical and picturesque qualities, we must not lose sight of either Gilles Lebreton’s compositions, which are free from constraint and surprising in their daring structuring, or his suggestive and sensual mastery of beings, locations, and subtly analysed places and subjects. These themes allow the artist to display and reinforce his fine contemporary vision, which in turn is always enhanced with light and charm. Gilles Lebreton is particularly at ease capturing the grace and movement of dancers, revealing their precision and excellence with graphic brilliance and captivating colours. So here is an artist who has created an astonishing dynamic right through from the simple sketch to the most elaborate oils. And this dynamic is always accompanied with realism, the values and efficiency of which Gilles Lebreton accurately gauges. It is even accompanied with real emotion, which respects the underlying technique only to better free spectacular bounds and sweeps, which he captures brilliantly.
