Charles Ducroux - Artiste à l'honneur

"All of a sudden, we brush up against lives, anonymous destinies, as if we were overhearing some intimate conversation. An impalpable nostalgia emanates from each of his canvases. Modesty, self-effacement, a certain melancholy tinged with solitude, Charles's canvases are almost always in subtle, delicate half-tones. Silent presences, singular magic, enigmatic gravity, it's worth pausing in front of each canvas. One wanders, wanders in a boundless space. A veil of warmth beneath which the material vibrates, offering us sequences of life. Charles Ducroux's passers-by move us with their mystery. We dare not look away, lest they have left the canvas to go their own way" Luis Porquet, Art Critic - 2010
