Art is an invention like nature has\u00a0been by the most Demiourgon geometers. Like many modem painters since the revolution operated by cubism,\u00a0Baron-Renouard re-invented the nature by resorting to colours and forms convergence. Thus, he brings life to his\u00a0canvas through tactile space and the light he creates. Construction and coloured irradiation are the two poles on\u00a0which Baron-Renouard&#8217;s work is built up. His deepened sense in plastic art fullness, he had learnt from his masters\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legueult.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.legueult.com\/\">Legueult<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maurice_Brianchon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brianchon<\/a> from the group Poetic Reality, from <a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fran%C3%A7ois_Desnoyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Desnoyer<\/a> as well about space density, from a\u00a0synthesis of geometrical rations and diversity of sensorial values. But beyond a pictorial heritage he masters, he\u00a0knows he will reach his goal, only by representing reality as \u00abTrue\u00bb as it can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Baron-Renouard, everything goes on through his own experiences and progress of thoughts in a particular\u00a0relation with Nature. From Bretagne to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baronrenouard.com\/blog\/exposition-tokyo-1981\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japan<\/a>, where he had been often since 1960, the hugeness of space is shown\u00a0on his canvas. This is not meant to imitate, at any moment, but to invoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cosmic vision of Baron-Renouard is only used for mutual exaltation of forms and colours aiming at&nbsp;regenerating. His painting is naturalism kind which formal language comes from his poetic feeling about Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lydia_Harambourg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lydia Harambourg<\/a><br \/>Historian-Art Critic, January 1999<br \/>Author of \u00abL&#8217;Ecole de Paris 1945-1965\u00bb<br \/>Painters dictionary, 1993<br \/><em>extract<\/em><span style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fran\u00e7ois Baron-Renouard chose to deal with a language of his time, in osmosis with authenticity of formal\u00a0and poetic approach which finds equivalences between reality and imagination.
