Michel Buret

Colors splash across French artist Michel Buret’s canvases, creating an urban vibe.  In-your-face reds, blues, and yellows look gritty when paired with heavy doses of tar black.  Like subway billboards, the canvases are large—up to 24" x 32"—and demand attention. Jagged lines zip up, down, and all around, as if refusing to be boxed in.  The thrust of colors in bold, asymmetrical shapes creates movement.  Buret propels you through the shifting perspectives of his work, hurrying you to get involved in the energy of each painting.
