Oxygen by Michel Bizet in Las Casas Reales Museum in Santo Domingo
It is under the title of Oxígeno (Oxygen) or the Space of the Insipid that the Museum Las Casas Reales will welcome in its colonial space the first individual exhibition of the French artist Michel Bizet, from August 12 to August 30.
The exhibition shows a selection of the most recent pictorial work of the artist coming from France, who resides in the Dominican Republic for more than 10 years.
The Bizet’s work is defined as a dialogue with the frame
by Amable López Meléndez, a famous Art critic.
In the majority of works of Oxygen, the game of chromatic contrasts is soft, and the harmonious fusions are an exceptional peculiarity
.
According to Candido Gerón, a famous Dominican artist, Bizet needs only the magic of the colors to cook the matter to the highest degrees until finding a released language or the fundamental matter impulse
.
The Bizet’s exhibition benefits will be donated to the Center for the Agricultural and Forest Development (CEDAF), a non-profit institution that will reinforce the projects developed by the Scientific Reserve Las Neblinas.
Michel Bizet was born on September 26 in Jallieu, close to Lyon, in France, where he draws and paints intensely until he is 17-year-old.
Then he travels to Paris, where he learns the waiter profession in the prestigious hotels. Later, he becomes antique dealer and joins industry fashion, collaborating with great designers, models and famous artists.
He is the founder of the clothing chain named BASIC Jean
.
After the Algeria War, in which he participated as a member of the French marines, he goes to Liverpool to learn English.
At the end of the Sixties, he comes back to France and develops important tourist projects.
In Saint-Tropez, he shares good moments with his painter friends, Antoni Clave, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Jacquemon and the musician Jean-Michel Jarre.
In 1995, he visits the Dominican Republic and the next year he settles in Las Terrenas, Samaná, where he develops the real estate project Parques Las Terrenas
and the shopping malls Casa Linda
and Plaza Taina
.
But the material achievements did not supplant the dreams that he creates through the paintbrush.
I am ready now because it is the first time that I am free. I have a spiritual life and can say that painting is something very serious. I feel like if I was answering an uncontrollable need to draw and to paint,
the artist says.
