Heather on Rock Gabriel Riesnert

This diptych reads like a visual meditation on the link between sky and earth, between the ephemeral and the grounded.
The sky above evokes the intangible, the breath, the dream, and the eternal shift of the elements.
The earth below offers resilience, beauty in stillness, and the quiet strength of survival (heather, in many cultures, symbolizes endurance and solitude).
There’s a soft tension between the two scenes:
– Above, vastness, transience, and contemplation.
– Below, rootedness, texture, and vibrant detail.
The palette unifies the two – the cool blues and greys of the sky echo the soft whites and violets of the rock, while the warm greens and pinks ground the viewer in a more tactile world.

Born in 1970, Gabriel Riesnert lives and works in Paris and south of France.

Since his early age Gabriel Riesnert has been fascinated by the beauty of plant forms and urban architectural lines. His passion pushes him to a practice of painting and drawing between photographic inspiration and urban realism. The artist’s consideration of painting is essentially turned to a representation of what we see and perceive of these forms, whether they provide a fiction or an impression of beauty, of serenity.

Beyond the visual, the creation of a work for Gabriel Riesnert is an interpretive experience and a journey intimately linked to space and time. His paintings often represent spaces and forms that are inspired by the tradition of the natural and architectural landscape. By enlarging details and creating a play of colors and shadows, the painter draws up a quest for the possible and a virgin path in the viewer’s eye.
