AN ARABELLA SHOWCASE
Step into the mesmerizing art of Vécu, a self-taught maestro of oil painting. From Angoulême, France, Vécu captivates audiences globally, with exhibitions from Paris to the United States, and across Europe. His canvas is a dance of two worlds: the hyper-realistic still life in trompe-l'œil technique, and a dreamy realm of surrealism inspired by popular culture. His reality paintings challenge perceptions, while his surreal works weave fantasy, symbolism, and a tender nostalgia. Immerse yourself in scenes where whimsical animals in period costumes take center stage, set against the backdrop of bygone eras. Each piece is a poetic blend of baroque detail and gentle charm, inviting you into a universe that's both antiquated and whimsically surreal. Living in Angoulême with his painter wife Marie Amalia Bartolini, Vécu continues to enchant and inspire. ARABELLA is pleased to celebrate the unique vision of Valéry Vecu Quitard, where every painting offers a journey through time and imagination!
