Collection: MANICOURT Christian

Christian Manicourt explores light and urban space through figurative and realistic painting, transforming each canvas into an invitation to contemplation. His works are born from a careful observation of the world around him, where movement, architecture, and atmospheres converge to create scenes that are both intimate and poetic. Mastering oil painting on linen, he favors the subtlety of chiaroscuro and rich textures to bring his subjects to life, whether urban sites, seascapes, or animal scenes. Each composition reflects his attention to detail and his fascination with the play of light, which become the common thread of his pictorial research.

His work, nourished by the study of the great classical and impressionist masters, combines technical rigor and contemporary sensitivity, offering the viewer a silent dialogue between the work and his gaze. Each painting invites us to perceive light as a revealer of emotions and nuances, and to immerse ourselves in a unique atmosphere, where time seems suspended.

Christian Manicourt uses painting as a means of questioning reality, capturing the moment and sharing the subtle beauty of the cities and landscapes that inspire him, while leaving room for each person's personal interpretation.
