At the Angers Museum of fine-arts : Pincemin, the gesture of the method



The Angers Museum of fine arts displays from may 8th till september 19th the works of the french sculptor, engraver and painter Jean-Pierre Pincemin. After a first exhibition 13 years ago, the local institution shows this time two different periods of the artist.

The 1967-1976's, when Pincemin tested new materials (floors, metal sheets, wire netting) and technical gestures, are illustrated "Pallissades", "Carrés-collés" or "Empreintes". In these, Pincemin tries to list the components of paintings. "It is not a work about something, or less, somebody. It's a work devoted to the method", wrote an art critic.

In addition, the exhibition range over another period of Pincemin : the 1995-2005's during which the artist develop works about the history of the rendering especially in the fields of western and eastern religious depictions with "Variations sur les chasses au tigre" or "Arbre de la renaissance".

This walk throughout the works of Pincemin includes some sculptures made of recycled and artistically diverted materials and takes end with paintings on small papers what Pincemin called "museum pocket".
