Michel Bavin (1970)

Na een reeks aquarel workshops in 2016-2017 heb ik de smaak te pakken gekregen om meer creatieve vaardigheden te ontwikkelen. Vanaf 2017 actief in de academie voor beeldende kunsten te Geel (België), afdeling schilderkunst, met het atelier levend model als extra.

Favoriete materialen en technieken: figuratief tekenen met grafiet en dito schilderen met acryl (voorkeur voor het schildersmes.) Komende uitdaging wordt het gebruik van olieverf.

Mijn onvatbare - niet onder woorden te brengen - impressies tracht ik naar papier en doek te vertalen. Speciale aandacht gaat naar de passie die schuilt in de expressie van live muzikanten. Ook portretten en filmische beelden zijn dikwijls inspirerend.

C'est grâce à quelques ateliers d'aquarelle pris en 2016-2017 que je me suis mis à prendre goût de poursuivre mes aptitudes créatrices. Dès 2017 je me suis inscris à l'académie des beaux arts de Geel (Belgique) orientation peinture, en faisant le dessin de modèle vivant comme option.

Mes techniques et matériaux préférés sont le dessin au graphite et la peinture acrylique, tous deux de façon figurative. J'aime particulièrement le couteau de peinture. Prochain défi sera la découverte de la peinture à l'huile.

Ce que je recherche, m'apparaît être un besoin de mettre en évidence mes impressions insaisissables sur papier et toîle. Un intérêt hors du commun qui me frappe souvent est l'intensité  dans l'expression de musiciens, jouant à un concert en direct. Les portrets en général et les images et fragments de films peuvent également me chatouiller l'envie et m'inciter vers l'acte créatif.

 

A series of watercolour workshops that I took in 2016-2017 inspired me to explore and deepen my own creative skills. I've been a student at the Geel (Belgium) artschool of visual arts, department of painting since 2017. I also attend the live model studio casually.

My most preferred materials and techniques: figurative drawing with graphite and acrylic painting. I especially appear to like the painting knife. Upcoming thrill and challenge will be my first steps into oil painting.

An attempt to get a grip on the subliminal and untranslatable, describes my drive to transfer the volatile onto paper and canvas. I have a particular interest in the ernergy and the drive which emanates from musicians at a live concert. Fascinating are also portraits and motion picture stills, as they tend to tickle my imagination and creative process.
