Presentation
François-Xavier de Boissoudy thus speaks of his vocation as a painter which was upset a few years ago by a strong spiritual experience, a bit like the work of Manessier was lastingly marked by his stay at La Trappe de Soligny: “My canvases have only one objective: to show the real augmented by the spiritual, materializing in the emergence of light. These are my vocation as a painter and the intuition on which I can build my work. There is no longer any subject for me without this light present in the world, whether it is reflected in a glass of water, a landscape or through a human scene. A soft and benevolent light, silent, marrying the carnal reality. It does not blind, it does not annihilate, it reveals. My role is not to stage, but to bear witness, in a society where contemporary art is too often governed by a negation of reality. Witness to this living and embodied sacredness. "
