Fanch Ledan
Art is never made in a vacuum and good art reflects the times in
which it is made. A venerable art world axiom, this idea confronts
us with particular clarity and force in the work of French-born
painter, Fanch Ledan. He draws on the rhythms and elements from
our contemporary visual environment to forge a distinctly original,
late twentieth century vision. His vivid images are totally contemporary
with classical nuances and the brightly streamlined look of modern
media.
The marriage of interior and exterior setting is the recurring theme
in much of Fanch Ledan's work. His 'windows on the world" concept
functions to bring the usual background elements into key focal
point. Because interiors are generally uninhabited by human figures,
we focus on the way his rooms blend art and architecture to form
a balanced and harmonious elegance.
