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 EN BLEU (The Girl in Blue)

"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 FILLE NUE DANS SON LIT (The Naked Girl in Her Bed)

"LA FILLE DANS LES DRAPS BLEUS" explores the dialogue between the body and the sleeping space, where soft light sculpts a gentle geography of folds, skin, and fabric.
The omnipresent blue evokes the depth of dreams, a motionless and infinite inner journey.
It is an ode to the secret stillness of abandoned moments.

LA FILLE DANS LES DRAPS BLEUS (The Girl in the Blue Sheets)

"LA CASCADE" captures a moment of vivid energy and a subtle connection between humans and the flowing elements of nature.
The discreet presence of the dragonfly accompanies this aquatic journey, acting as a fragile and free companion.
This painting celebrates the tender courage of surrendering to the flow, the moment, and the simplicity of being.

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.
The graphic treatment highlights the vertical strength of the stones and the swirling motion of the water,
while the woman’s posture—both powerful and fragile—
invites the viewer to feel the vibration held just before release.

DOS NU (Bare Back)

In "GRAIN DE BEAUTÉ," I sought to explore the intimacy of a suspended moment,
a captured instant between movement and stillness.
Seen from above, the composition highlights the subtle geometry of both place and body,
while the textures of stone and vegetation whisper the silent dialogue between nature and humanity.

GRAIN DE BEAUTÉ (Beauty Mark)

In An Afternoon in Duingt, Alain Rouschmeyer continues his exploration of the figure in architectural and natural space.

Through subtle contrasts of light and shade, and a composition that leaves room for the viewer’s gaze to wander, the painting invites slowness and contemplation.

The scene is neither anecdotal nor descriptive — it is an evocation, a felt moment, rendered with restraint and depth.

UN APRÈS-MIDI A DUINGT (An Afternoon in Duingt)

In Blue Morning, Alain Rouschmeyer continues his exploration of the human figure in space.
Here, the figure is veiled in softness and nuances — a play of tones and textures that invites a slower gaze.

This work is part of the artist’s ongoing quest to paint what is felt, not just seen — to capture the fleeting, the uncertain, the intimate.

MATIN BLEU (Blue morning)

In “Summer in Nyons”, the artist captures a moment of passage.
The feminine figure, both outlined and dissolved, walks through a haze of golden light.

The background seems to vibrate with heat, as if shaped by memory rather than reality.
The gesture is fluid, simple, filled with presence — like a scene we remember, but can't quite place.

A sun-drenched piece about movement, memory, and the traces of summer.

UN ÉTÉ À NYONS (Summer in Nyons)

"Summer Lovers" captures the tenderness of shared summer moments.
The aerial composition isolates the couple from the world, celebrating their private cocoon.
The play of cast shadows, marine textures, and radiant light enhances the feeling of fullness, blending vivid reality with poetic reverie.

LES AMOUREUX DE L'ÉTÉ (Summer Lovers)

With "Heritage Geometry", I sought to explore the echo of places on human presence.
The aerial perspective, the graphic tension of the checkerboard, and the architectural elements amplify the feeling of a suspended space where every move leaves its imprint, and every decision echoes through time.
The playful confrontation unfolds within a broader dialogue with the materiality of memory.

GEOMETRIE PATRIMONIALE (Heritage Geometry)

"LA BERGERONNETTE" is an invitation to quietude and introspection.
The bench acts as a bridge between humans and the bird, between silent contemplation and the subtle movement of nature.
In this suspended moment, emotion resides as much in the waiting as in the stillness of the world.

LA BERGERONNETTE (The Wagtail)

"A CONTRESENS" captures that fleeting instant where individuality asserts itself against the rule.
The composition, playing with contrasts of texture and light, invites multiple readings: an intimate journey intertwined with the poetry of daily life.
The eye is drawn to the tender complicity of the figures, standing apart from the structured surroundings.

A CONTRESENS (Against the Flow)

"LOULOUS" captures a simple and vivid moment: the ordinary complicity after a marine getaway.
The aerial framing, the spontaneous gestures, and the delicate details tell a story of sweetness, of grounding, where the ordinary becomes precious.

LOULOUS (Little Sweethearts)

"ZONE BLEUE" explores the fleeting imprint left by movement and light.
The bold framing, the apparent simplicity of the scene, and the silent vibration of shadows form a visual composition where the ordinary turns into poetry.
The painting captures the free spirit of summer, between departures and open horizons.

ZONE BLEUE (Blue Zone)

In "PACIFIQUE," I sought to capture the calm strength of an ordinary yet striking figure.
Behind the colorful outfit and slightly offbeat appearance lies profound humanity —
the kind that doesn't need embellishment to fully exist in the moment.
The thick hedge, smooth pavement, and contrasting colors emphasize this balance between the world's extravagance and inner grounding.

PACIFIQUE (Pacific)

In "AGATHE & JULIEN," I aimed to capture that fleeting moment when tenderness slips into simple, everyday gestures,
where glances and smiles say everything.
The minimalist setting — a green hedge and shimmering reflections — allows the viewer to focus entirely on the emotional nuance between the two characters.

AGATHE & JULIEN (Agathe & Julien)

With "PIERRE & JOSEPHA," I continue my exploration of suspended moments —
those fleeting instances where human connection erases the world around, leaving only the essential.
The tension between the dense vegetation and the minimalist esplanade offers a quiet stage,
inviting the viewer to imagine the story beyond the captured scene.

PIERRE & JOSEPHA (Pierre & Josepha)

"After the Harvest" explores the surrender of movement after the task is done.
The deliberately relaxed posture highlights a subtle fusion between body and surroundings: the worn wood, the light, the scattered fruits.
Each element witnesses a moment of pure and simple intimacy, almost timeless.

APRES LA CUEILLETTE (After the Harvest)

With PISTACHIO AND GRENADINE, I wanted to capture that fleeting moment where life grants itself a tender pause.
The overhead composition invites the viewer into the intimacy of a daily ritual, transformed by warm light and vibrant colors.
The bright red dress, the everyday objects — pistachios, grenadine —
become symbols of discreet hedonism, a quiet celebration of the present moment.
A pictorial homage to life's gentle pleasures.
