DEMARCHELIER BISTRO IN GREENPORT NY HOSTS ANNUAL ART EXHIBITION

 

Eric Demarchelier's  Keira Knightley

French dining hot spot Demarchelier Bistro in Greenport, NY is hosting their annual summer art exhibition by Artist Eric Demarchelier who will be displaying his latest collection of paintings. Demarchelier Bistro’s walls are lined with Eric’s work where the new paintings will be exhibited this summer. 

Demarchelier Bistro’s Summer 2022 exhibit is a tribute by the Artist to his late brother and photographer, Patrick Demarchelier. Eric’s recent collection of paintings are based on Patrick’s photographs which are being displayed side by side. This current collection as well as samples of Eric’s prior work are available for purchase at the bistro. 

Eric Demarchelier is a French-American painter whose work encompasses figurative, geometric abstraction, abstract expressionism, landscape, and portraiture. 

Demarchelier, known for his diverse and engaging abstract styles, combines formalistic opposites of color and shape or texture and form to evoke the perceptual field. His geometric abstractions' interlocking rectangles allude not only to the visual framing of the painted picture and the rectangles of windows, doors, and walls in which they are found, but also to the discursive nature of thought, which employs frames of difference to produce an enclosed idea.

This approach to abstraction is expanded upon in a series of works in which scraped gossamer reveals the movement of fused, unformed shapes charged by the movement of unstable colors. Despite their heavily abstract natures, the wind-swept or blurred surfaces give off a figurative sense, sometimes going so far as to suggest a mapping of geographic boundaries but set in a retrograde composition that catches perception one moment before it's processed into concept. 

Demarchelier departs from the hard edges of his representational and geometric abstraction to show indeterminate puzzle pieces of reactive shapes moving in the dynamism of shifting systems, a technique that emphasizes the role emotion plays in determining perception. 

Demarchelier's figurative painting starkly contrasts his abstract work, offering striking, almost intuitively familiar landscape scenes as well as masterful still life works enriched by patina hues and balanced by intelligent composition. His portraiture ranges from the bold simplicity of pre-pop portraiture to energetic and brightly defined human forms caught in between moments of reverie, realization, and reminiscence, to faceless bodies in private poses revealing an undetected inner intimacy. 

Demarchelier, who was trained by St. Petersburg master painter Leonid Gervis, has been active for the past 25 years. He was born in Normandy and currently resides in New York City and Shelter Island, where he maintains a studio.
