Xavier Feugray
27 february to 13 march 2010 !
At the age of 28, Xavier Feugray is a young artist double face: crush, artistic formed at the School of Fine Arts of Le Havre, member of the Collective d'En Face and face, musical (guitarist and singer, in particular with Damfortune).
In 2002, Xavier Feugray makes an unexpected meeting: the eminent American painter, the heir of the impressionist current, born in 1924: Jason Berger. The latter said to him one single sentence: Learn to Draw. The young artist remains quiet, stunned, in front of advice of this veteran, whose route arouses admiration and respect.
He sets to work from his former drawings which he tears, sticks, unsticks, redraws, paints, crosses off, scrawls, inserts texts, words of songs, etc. As a result: a complex mixture of ink and watercolor, which reflects the art of a disorder skilfully orderly, governed by the red thread of the continuous learning.
