Truteau

Un désir de provoquer


Chez Frédéric Truteau, tout commence par un dessin. Une sensation, une idée, émanant de ce qu’il a vu ou entendu et qui doit être couchée sur du papier pour s’épanouir.

L’artiste prend du recul afin d’étudier son œuvre en devenir, de construire sa composition, d’en comprendre la portée et d’en explorer les interprétations. Ce n’est qu’à partir de ce travail préliminaire que le peintre peut ensuite laisser libre cours à son inspiration pour donner corps à sa toile au gré d’aplats de nuances chatoyantes.

S’inspirant des maîtres cubistes tels que Picasso, Léger ou encore Dali, Frédéric Truteau s’est créé son propre style à travers des peintures débordant de couleurs, dont le trait incisif rappelle la bande-dessinée. Ce qui ne l’empêche pas de porter un regard critique sur la société contemporaine.

Pour dénoncer les dérives de la consommation, il a ainsi choisi de réinterpréter des œuvres marquantes. Se faisant, Frédéric Truteau a adapté à sa peinture le concept géologique de l’actualisme, selon lequel les phénomènes du passé se produisent de la même manière que ceux d’aujourd’hui. Sous son pinceau, La Madone aux fuseaux de Léonard de Vinci se transforme alors en une mère obnubilée par sa carte bleue, tandis que Saint Michel combat le démon de la télévision. Comme autant de symboles classiques transposés d’une époque à l’autre…

Humour et dérision sont ici de précieuses armes artistiques. Un artifice pour prendre le contre-pied des idées et des situations communément acceptées. Oser, bousculer, déranger, surprendre, peu importe. Pour Frédéric Truteau, l’essentiel est de susciter une réaction en faisant partager sa propre vision des choses.

An urge to provoke


With Frederic Truteau, everything starts with a drawing. A feeling, an idea, emanating from something he has seen or heard and which has to be laid onto paper to come to life.The artist then takes a step back to examine his work in progress to build his composition, to understand the scope and explore interpretations. It is only from this preliminary work that the artist can then give free rein to his inspiration to give substance to the canvas with shimmering shades.

Inspired by Cubist masters such as Picasso, Dali or Leger, Frederic Truteau has created his own style through paintings overflowing with color, whose incisive lines take us back to our favourite comics. This does not stop him from taking a critical look at contemporary society.

To denounce the excesses of consumerism, he has chosen to reinterpret key works. In doing so, Frédéric Truteau has adapted the concept of geological actualism to his paintings, according to which the phenomena of the past happen in the same way as today. Under his brush, Leonardo’s Madonna is transformed into a mother obsessed by her credit card, while St. Michael fights the demon of the television. Like so many classical symbols transposed from one period to another ...

Humor and derision are valuable artistic weapons here. A way of going against commonly accepted ideas and situations. To dare, to shake, to disturb, to surprise, no matter. For Frédéric Truteau, the key is to provoke a reaction by sharing his own vision.
