GERARD SCHLOSSER

1931 - 2022

Is a French painter. He studied goldsmithing at the School of Applied Arts, then did a short stint at the School of Fine Arts. From his first canvases, Gérard Schlosser has chosen figuration, fragments of bodies painted in flat areas and surrounded by black like Pop Art artists. In the 70s, he systematically glued his sand canvases, which gave colored surfaces a very particular vibration. To create his paintings, he used photography and the photomontage technique and subsequently systematized this process like other French artists associated with Narrative Figuration such as Monory, Rancillac, Rancillac, Aillaud and Fromanger. This artist is part of the artistic movement of Hyperrealism, but also of Narrative Figuration in opposition to Abstraction. Each painting reveals an often intimate scene, where rest is king, between sensuality, suggestion and provocation.
