VAPEURS ET CHUCHOTEMENTS

The fifth piece in the “Chemin faisant, les grolles” series, this painting pays tribute to everyday footwear—objects filled with personal history, symbols of journeys taken. These Bocage sandals, rendered with both precision and tenderness, rest on a tautly woven seat highlighted by sunlight. The polka-dot fabric and the linear structure of the chair evoke the paths crossed and the traces we leave behind.

This painting is part of the Chemin faisant series, focusing on movement, traversed spaces, and familiar objects turned witnesses. This pair of black sneakers evokes presence and absence, the subtle poetry of a path walked. The tight framing and detailed rendering of the pavement highlight a raw intimacy, where the ordinary becomes lyrical.

"CHEMIN FAISANT, SES GROLLES 4" belongs to the series of intimate pathways,
where each pair of shoes reflects a silent story.
Here, femininity steps in with boldness and mystery,
weaving between elegance, abandon, and suggested sensuality.
The red lace, vibrant against the black leather,
offers a striking counterpoint to the soft disappearance of steps.

The fourth opus in the Le Fauteuil Blanc series, this work continues the exploration of the relationship between body and natural setting—this time introducing the dimensions of movement and clothing. The white armchair, a recurring emblem of the series, here stands as a silent witness to a transitional scene, poised between nudity and dress, surrender and restraint. The richness of the textures—skin, fabric, foliage—invites the eye to travel across the various planes of the canvas.

APRÈS LA BAIGNADE, LE FAUTEUIL BLANC (After the Swim, the Wh

This third opus of the Le Fauteuil Blanc series celebrates the direct relationship between the body and natural light. The bold pose, anchored in the white armchair that has become the series’ emblem, questions notions of freedom, exposure, and sensory pleasure. Here, the subtle handling of oil paint explores the textures of skin and the modulations of light within a space that is at once intimate and open.

LE FAUTEUIL BLANC, AU SOLEIL (White Chair, In the Sun)

This work is part of the Le Fauteuil Blanc series, in which Alain Rouschmeyer examines the place of the female body within a natural environment.
The armchair—a recurring motif—becomes a platform of presence within a shifting setting.
Between shadow and light, the human figure engages in a silent dialogue with the garden and with the viewer’s gaze.

LE FAUTEUIL BLANC, JOUR D'ÉTÉ (White Chair, Summer Day)

“I wanted this painting to feel like a silent conversation between object and environment. The white chair, simple and unadorned, becomes a focal point—almost a stand-in for the viewer—beckoning you to sit, to witness, to become part of the scene.”

LE FAUTEUIL BLANC, AU JARDIN (White Chair in the Garden)

"LA FILLE EN BLEU" was born from the desire to capture a suspended moment within the softness of the present.
The composition plays with offset planes, blending real landscape with fragments of imagination.
The harmony between the vividness of the blue dress, the depth of greenery, and the brightness of the water gives the painting an almost dreamlike quality, where walking becomes an inner journey.

"LA FILLE AU LEVER DU JOUR" captures that suspended moment between the end of sleep and the beginning of the world.
The overhead view, almost secretive, celebrates the raw simplicity of a daily ritual: washing, preparing to be reborn.
The confined space of the bathtub becomes a precious setting for the freedom of movement, highlighting the beauty of the ordinary and the power of being alive.

LA FILLE AU LEVER DU JOUR (The Girl at Dawn)

"LA FILLE NUE DANS SON LIT" captures the luminous vulnerability of the moment when the body, still surrendered to sleep, converses with the folds and patterns of the bedding.
Seen from above, the perspective offers a tender and discreet glimpse into this in-between state, where reality and dreams remain entangled.
The deep blues of the sheets contrast with the warmth of the skin, enhancing the poetic resonance of this intimate and fleeting scene.

LA CASCADE (The Waterfall)

This painting is part of a series of contemplative works in which the female body becomes presence in the world.
It is less about representing and more about allowing what is felt to appear — a posture, a threshold, a suspended moment between intimacy and landscape.
The lake, calm and reflective, becomes the interior space of the figure.

LA FILLE AU BORD DU LAC (The Girl by the Lake)

In "DOS NU," I sought to capture the silent intensity of an intimate moment:
the instant when a poised body engages in dialogue with untamed nature.

while the woman’s posture—both powerful and fragile—
invites the viewer to feel the vibration held just before release.
