J’aime beaucoup l’univers très masculin et fétichiste d’Alexis Lekat, jeune artiste français qui vit et travaille à Dallas. Ses personnages hauts en couleur sont pétris par la lumière inventive du peintre, qui modèle des corps sous tensions (des punks, des skinheads, des fighters…)

L’oeil averti pourra trouver une certaine distance dans ses peintures , de l’humour , un brin d’ironie qui rendent encore plus présents les sujets.

Je vous recommande fortement de découvrir les autres peintures de cet artiste sur son blog http://punkedinside.blogspot.com/

Quelques mots de l’artiste en anglais :

I studied at the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et du Textile (ESAAT) in Roubaix, France. I look at painting as yet another way to tell a story. Focused on male bodies, my art is often seen as being “gay oriented”. If it is somehow partly true, it goes much far beyond this aspect. In fact, through human bodies, I aim at depicting feelings: strength, power and tension. The characters are often rough (punks, skinheads, fighters…), which also motivates the choice of surfaces they are painted on (used fabric, woods and jeans), making my art urban, and transforming paintings not only in pictures, but in objects in themselves. I also explore light and shadows and how it works on different bodies. In addition to that, I try to include a touch of irony and humor in my art, through “Alexis” a cartoon cat character that I have created. alexislekat@gmail.com
