Jules De Balincourt1 collaborationChanneling intuition, Balincourt’s work is characterised by the interplay between abstract forms and figuration. Without using reference materials, Balincourt begins his canvases by sketching shapes and colour that move from his mind to his hand. Once the base of the painting has freely evolved, he adds clusters of figures that transform the abstraction into representation; pale pink ovals become mountains, yellow-orange streaks become trees. A rich, visceral study of color and form that presents stories and scenarios of child-like curiosity, Balincourt’s work is purposefully accessible: a conscious resistance to the over-intellectualised pretentiousness of the contemporary art world.
