Artist of the day: Artist of the Day, November 17, 2023: Alain Rouschmeyer, a French emerging artist, painter (#1960)

Alain Rouschmeyer is a French painter best known for his acrylic paintings on medium-format canvas and his contemporary ink drawings. Observer of everyday life, he analyzes the human journey through the postures and spaces crossed, as if to probe the banal and capture its scent. His artistic itinerary invites him to work on architecture in which he likes to reflect on living spaces and the cross-functionalities that define their uses.

Like a poet analyst, Alain Rouschmeyer’s work navigates between reality and intimacy, revealing attachment and detachment at the whim of a conscious will. He explores the hidden dimension of a daily life that never ceases to challenge us like warm jazz or blues music, like a score that invites us to take a break with the attentive and colorful gaze of an original sketch. The romanticism of which he fully assumes the contemporary and timeless translation inhabits the medium like an involved space.

Look, observe, feel and imagine, as if to better perceive things in life and everyday life. The artist from an architectural universe never stops understanding and allowing himself to be seduced by the human journey in given spaces with this alternation of place and posture.

The simplicity of a pose that becomes complicit in a space or a space that sublimates the presence of a passage. Like a love story, a particular attitude or a body whose meanings are sometimes unknown.

Interpret, script, as if to better define fields of the possible between interior and exterior. This dimension which challenges the inside and the outside, the self and the others, order and disorder, fullness and emptiness or even image and history. These opposites that leave marks and determine how we perceive them. The artist plays with the decor, blurring it as well as sublimating it.

Presence or absence as if to give free rein to the imagination of a short one-act story or a three-part triptych. This figurative waltz is enriched by the sketch of a stolen moment, sometimes supported by symbolic graphics that redefine the limits of these opposites to reveal a distinctive evidence.

Like an exacerbated passion, the composition is an integral part of his work and complicit in making the subject live in its medium by involving it in its format. Like unfinished lace, between classicism and timelessness, we are invited to appropriate living spaces linked to our walks.
