He sarcastically creates a colorful world where photographic precision blends with a blur of drips and organized runs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">His paintings show bodies both inert and in movement, trapped by the news media. Almost always represented in dated and cramped interiors, the characters look stuck in their own flesh. Sometimes sprawled in front of a television set, sometimes prostrate facing screen printed press photos, these beings are lazy and apathetic. This inaction, however, is troubled by the slow movement given by the superposition of postures that reminds us that these bodies are alive. They never really fall, they are rather on the brink of an abyss, they are there, caught up and slumped in front of the daily flood of images produced by the media industry. Time seems to stand still in these interiors with old-fashioned wallpapers and the beings who live there show a certain contemporary indolence . But the picture is not black and the political message uncertain. This is more an excuse to paint. The painting is seen as a set of duality between the media in which intervene humorous touches and offbeat references from the popular culture and the arts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frederic Royer was a French painter born in Dijon in 1974.
