New Pop Art by Adrien Belgrand

Posted by Julia Baron at 1:27 pm

Adrien Belgrand’s Pop Art has intriguing strength without being too forceful.  A newcomer to the French art scene, Belgrand humbly sets his style into contemporary art.  Composition wise, his canvases are a mix of figurative art and Pop Art.  From Paris, where Belgrand lives and works, his contemporary art presents a journey through his different series, produced based on photographs from a variety of international destinations.

Influenced by David Hockney, Adrien Belgrand uses a vibrant palette reminiscent of the Pop Art style.  With an exposed frame, with the presence or absence of human figures and a geometric sharpness of contours, Belgrand revitalizes the genre.  His personal touch is quite apparent.  Objects and architectural elements are simplified, with color appearing overexposed to sunlight, which gives the impression of complete flatness in the manner of Pop Art.

A fascinating body of work for its uniqueness, Belgrand gives himself a temporality, as we can see time passing with his serial work.  Viewing his paintings, you might encounter street scenes, a series of kiosks, or country highways of California.  A rising artist in the contemporary art world, Belgrand’s success is only increasing.  His new Pop Art style has been welcomed all over Europe, as he auctions in Drouot and his works have already been bought by collectors from art galleries in England, Germany, and Italy.
