Alain Clément was born in 1941 in Neuilly-Sur-Seine. He lives and works
in Nîmes, Paris and Berlin. He used to teach at the School of Fine Art in
Montpellier, and later at the Nîmes's from 1970 to 1990.
Friend of artists from Support/Surfaces and after a formalist period in the
70s’, he develops in the 80s’ a very colored painting produced with simple
gestures until saturation of the canvas space. Values, features, lines, ribbons
and frames deny and dig the space in a profuse work, exceeding the formalist issues
and asserting the expressive and polysemous power of painting.
From 1990, he begins to work on sculptures with wall reliefs. These
artworks are inspired from large colored lines which composed his painting
space. He also works on monumental painted steel sculptures created and
exhibited in France and abroad.
The singularity of his work is based on relations he constructs between
painting and sculpture. These relations are completed with his practice of
engraving on which he always gives a particular care.
In 2010, the previous Alain Clément’s exhibition at Baudoin Lebon
Gallery has shown the constant interpenetration of painting and sculpture that
creates the singularity of his work.
This year, in order to celebrate their 10 years of collaboration,
Baudoin Lebon Gallery and Alain Clément emphasize on sculpture, technic more
and more present in the artist' work. Theses sculptures are exhibited with some
gouaches on small paper which are eye-catching.
The exhibition, voluntarily minimalist, of the artworks created in
2012-2013 demonstrates the freedom gained by Alain Clément in the realisation
of sculpture.
