Vincent Bioulès Explained

Vincent Bioulès is a French painter,^[1] born on March 5, 1938^[2] in Montpellier, where he lives and works.^[3]

Biography

Bioulès was born and continues to live and work in Montpellier.

He has taught at several Fine Art schools including École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.^[4]

Work

In 1966 Vincent Bioulès participated in the “Impact” exhibition in Céret (Pyrénées-Orientales).

Vincent Bioulès was one of the founders of the Supports/Surfaces movement in 1968. Unlike many of the other artists of the group, Bioulès never renounced the stretched canvas.^[5] His focus in the group was to work the surfaces and accentuate the notion of its extent rather than its materiality.

In 1969, he founded the ABC Productions group with Tjeerd Alkema, Jean Azemard, Alain Clément and Patrice Vermeille.^[6]

He left the Supports/Surfaces group in 1972

In the mid-70s, he transitioned from abstraction to figurative painting, through portraiture and landscape. His panoramas come from mnemonic images.
