Alain Héraud was
born and raised in Paris. At the age of 12, he follows courses in the Louvre
and this experience determined his artistic direction. At the age of 16, he
entered the Collège d’Enseignement d’Art Graphique de Corvisart. At the end of
his studies, he starts painting.
He
exhibited at the Salon d’Automne du Grand Palais. It took him a few years to
realise the importance of painting in his life, and decided to make a living
out of it. Around the age of 40, he left Paris and settled in Bretagne to
devote himself to his passion.
Alain
spreads paint with a knife on canvas, paper or wood. To create his landscapes,
he uses construction spatulas, that are wider and stiffer than traditional
painting knives.
He draws his inspiration from his travels (Italy, Greece,
Algeria, Tunisia) and from the places where he lived (Paris, Brittany). He
transforms his memories into inhabited theatrical settings. His works can be
contemplated as if they were travel journals. With his mind full of images,
it's in his studio that he creates lights, moods and atmospheres. More
