Alain Gazier was born Paris, 1956. Gazier prepares his blank canvases with gesso primer, a mineral based substance that contains marble. This technique gives his paintings a unique texture.
The paintings of Alain Gazier show images of the past with the faithfulness of the present. The walls whisper songs from the past, the stones breathe, the marble, the stairways, the columns and a divine light that comes from the windows. Pure imagination from an artist that dreams with beauty. He invites us into his world of silent interiors, where he plays so successfully with light and perspective.
