Michel Sarazin

Oil pastel on board

Michel Sarazin explores interiors, patterns, and glimpses of the world beyond the room. Light and recurring forms connect these spaces, creating compositions that invite the viewer to look closely.

Commentary by Laurent Contamin (2002)
Michel Sarazin loves life. This is probably the pattern (in both senses of the term: representation and rationale) of his painting. Indoor scenes and / or outside, fabric patterns, places, still other places, suites of rooms, we guess a body, an angel passed, the blue of the morning … Yes, we think Matinaux, Rene Char. Joy of the morning. These square format like the windows of our childhood are so many holes through which light can be a passage to us: life bursts forth like a pirouette of a child with these signs are both simple and complex, both It is true that Michel Sarazin defies label that would put him once and for all in one box.
