Contemporary painter, André Boubounelle paints landscapes in the classical way, at a time when practices often put aside the pictorial and the figurative.
Whether bright or misty, his landscapes are never animated and exude a delicate poetry, a harmonious melancholy. This gives a rare emotional intensity to his paintings: as if in immersion, we walk through the familiar landscapes of Burgundy, Ile de France, the sunny countryside under the snow, Vexin, northern Brittany via Tuscany.
