ARTIST STATEMENT

Creative process:

Through his work, Roland Delcol hopes to inspire his viewer to read the intellectual, poetic undertones in his sexual themes. He says “My technique is classical and traditional, with a touch of humor and contemplation”. Delcol’s timeless paintings have something happening, without being anecdotal.

Philosopher Gilles Deleuze wroteto Delcol about his work : “ … what moves me so much in your painting is the intensity you reach in the gaze of your characters … even the drooping eyelids (most often in men), do not hide, but follow such a heavy gaze … I am grateful to have discovered your work, and whish to express my admiration”.
