The works of Henri Bouchard, with their soft colors and random gestural movements, are often the result of an unrestricted approach to painting. His spontaneity favors chance and leaves traces with naive tones. His dynamic compositions adhere to color, rhythm, proportions, and a structure that ties the components together.
His work deliberately avoids complex references to allow the viewer to choose their own perspective on the piece. The absence of politics and the excess of colors are meant to initiate an individual connection between the art and its observer, allowing them to discover their own clarity and a deep sense of personal understanding. It is the emotions of the observer that interest the artist the most. He says he aims to create art that energizes, a source from which he himself draws much inspiration. For the artist, art is a way to use colors and childhood to return to a natural state where instinct takes precedence over knowledge and reason. The purpose of art is to give energy.
Henri Bouchard (1999) was born in Canada, in Montreal, where he currently lives.
