Born in 1966 in Béziers, he lives and works in the South of France. Stéphane Gisclard is an artist inspired by particular atmospheres and paints, in the contemporaneity of his writing, his city and his region. He has the exceptional mastery of a great storyteller of light. A light that emanates from multiple planes, satellites of a whole with abundant imbrications. A powerful line accentuates this multiplication of planes, refuges of shadows and light, parcels of subtle colours, flat areas gathered, interwoven, offering to see through this puzzle "genre scenes with muscular atmospheres". Even if Stéphane Gisclard's painting is influenced by the great masters of cubism (Gris, Braque, Picasso, Metzinger...) and African art, he nevertheless retains his personality in a powerful graphic style always bathed in Mediterranean light. He depicts a timeless world, barely softened by the ambiguous smiles of female characters. The light and colours of his native South are a constant source of inspiration.
