Patrick Lalande
Patrick uses the technique of chiaroscuro and glazes. He draws
his inspiration from the works of Flemish masters and "ruinistes" of the
eighteenth century. Landscapes where mineral matter gives a depth and
brightness to give the picture a three-dimensionality in his paintings. Born in
Toulon in 1959, his attraction for painting led him to follow the course of
Fine Arts. He trained as a photographer at the "Chamber of Trades," and
participated in various publications in journals of photographs. After
encounters with painters Eugene Baboulène and Michel Bron, he started a new
path, that of painting. Since 1981, he has exhibited in France and abroad.
