Collection: Series “The orange of my eyes” François LEMAIRE.

As a child, I used to walk in my father's lands in the summer. I would lie down in the fields and close my eyes facing the sun and I would see everything in orange through my eyelids. That's why I called this series, "The storm of my eyes"

Orange is a complementary color. I want to give this color an optimal light value. To give the illusion that the painting lights up the room. There are 80 orange pigments. However, I create orange from 5 red pigments and 3 yellow pigments ranging from darkest to lightest.

They say that color is a warm color, that's right. It can express a certain violence in the eyes of some, this is not the path that I explore in my painting. It's the opposite, I want that with this bright color worked many times on the paintings, we discover a tranquility in first intention, to suggest to the one who looks at it a singular sensation, something buried in him or her. A secret story where words no longer have court to make room for a purely poetic emanation,

a dynamic that looks at childhood. What I call such a violent sweetness.
