nnnnnnnnnnnnn Marc-Antoine Goulard Goulard invites us into marvelous territory between representation and abstraction, the beauty of landscape and seascape and skies transformed into a universe he has invented. There are paintings where at times one imagines that one is seeing a known subject, but then it evaporates and one is in the realm of pure art, while with other images one begins with complete abstraction and then finds one’s way to nature. Either way, the painting itself is the issue, while one feels the reverence for the earth and its atmosphere: all in a new, marvelous, absorbing realm that Goulard has given us. Goulard has presented viewers with such gifts because of his utmost dedication to the act of painting, his extreme technical capability combined with an endlessly searching vision. Having pushed himself tirelessly and purposefully, he has created richly textured, inviting worlds of their own: calming yet stimulating, engaging us with a sense of splendor.

Marc-Antoine Goulard mmmmmmmest l’un des peintres les plus talentueux et les plus sérieux de sa génération. On ne peut s’empêcher de penser à Nicolas de Staël à cause de son intensité dévorante, mais il n’en est pas un imitateur ; au contraire, Goulard est quelqu’un qui cherche sans cesse, dans un souci d’indépendance et d’originalité, à faire ce qui n’a jamais été fait, ce qui est beau et, grâce à son œil hautement discriminatoire, tout à fait juste d’après cette vision qui n’appartient à nul autre.
