Camille Hilaire was born in Metz in 1916. From a modest background, he first became a house painter, then began drawing and painting on the spot.
Unwilling to be drafted by the German army as an Alsatian-Lorrainer, he went underground and enrolled under an assumed name, Leblanc, at the Beaux-Arts in Paris during the Occupation. It was during this period that he befriended André Lhote.
In 1947, Hilaire was appointed professor of drawing and decorative composition at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Nancy, a position he held until 1958. He competed for the Prix de Rome in 1950, winning 2nd runner-up prize. From 1950 to 1951, he was a resident at Casa de Velázquez in Madrid.
Alternating between post-cubism and figuration, his brightly colored works are luminous. Camille Hilaire represented the nuanced expression of composition. Starting with effective structures, he harnessed the power of color and achieved an admirable and constant sense of calm, breadth and grandeur in translating motifs and elements, which never prevented him from expressing a burning passion for creating and sharing.
As for landscapes, Hilaire knew how to dictate their structure without apparent constraint, adding the fresh, piquant green that so often characterized him. In this way, nature and the elements became a pretext for the artist to push color to achieve the desired effect.
He died at his estate in Fourges, Eure (Normandy), and was buried in the Cimetière de l'Est (Metz) in 2004.

Camille Hilaire
Camille HILAIRE (1916-2004) was a French painter and weaver from Metz in Eastern France. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was also tutored by André Lhote. Camille Hilaire is subtle in his composition. He did away with efficient structures, he held power with colour and achieved a wonderful, consistent sense of calm, amplitude and greatness by translating patterns and elements, which never prevented him from expressing a burning passion for creating and sharing. His nudes were remarkable, with perfect curves, coiled with charm and set in a context in which their sensual fullness imposed itself with provocative grace. As for his landscapes, Camille Hilaire could determine the structure without apparent constraints, overlaying a fresh, spicy green that is so characteristic of them. Thus, nature and elements they become the pretext upon which the artist "pushed" the colour to get the effect felt. Over time, a dozen monographs have been devoted to him as well as documentaries and films. He leaves behind a large body of work who strongly influenced the French painters of the mid-twentieth century.

"Au détour"
Laque sur toile
130 x 97 cm
2022
Born in Granville, France, on April 14, 1968, François Benoît-Lison began with a figurative approach, which gradually evolved into abstraction, first lyrical, then more contrasting, where black reigns supreme. Black is a sacred color, sometimes dark, sometimes dazzling, without limits, it can be dominant or gentle.
After acrylics and oils, bituminous pastes and inks opened another door, that of the abstract, much more profound and contemporary, with the possibility of working these materials in many aspects and forms.
Since the 1980s, the artist has been offering us works imbued with research, reflection and philosophy, charged with a strong, raw message, highlighting his thoughts and leaving an indelible imprint.
Abstraction is his adventure, his freedom, his struggle, his dreams, his rage, his solitude.
