the painting
of nicolas noverraz fits in a hyperrealist stream, firstly by the choice of his
subjects, and secondly by the way in which he treats them.
his interests are, indeed, the urban way of life; it seeks to dissimulate
neither the filth nor the wear of the things, moreover, nicolas noverraz shows
an extreme precision at the time of the realization of his works so that he is
missing no detail by reported to the reality.
nicolas
noverraz often makes very large blow up of his subjects, which in certain cases
gives a completely interesting lighting to his paintings.
it arrives, indeed, that his canvas pass for abstracted paintings with regards
to the taking out of their context and their delicacy of their execution.
you could say that through his work nicolas noverraz creates a “continuum”
between two opposite that are the hyperrealism and the abstract; indeed, the
border which separates these two streams is very thin and it is evident that
nicolas noverraz swing with virtuosity to a world to another.
currently
the artist develops a new concept , and defined himself as a "urban painter",
"of the city, specific to the city". this definition is well appropriate to
nicolas noverraz, who by developing the urban topic, voluntarily projects
himself in a medium he likes very much.
consequently, its hunting ground becomes enormous and infinite. however, all his
subjects must invariably present a print of the time or be marked by the
presence of the men.
the artist
open this new concept by a series of subjects, which as in the past, put in
front some of the necessary elements to our daily life and on which you carry
out only some temporary interest.
all these small bits of paper you look at, sometime even only once for a short
moment, without realizing it.
at the same speed the artist put our attention to these topographic maps without
which it would be sometime difficult to adjust our view, which about we are
seldom conscious of the importance.
in fact nicolas noverraz is now the spokesman of all these small objects which
one does not recognize the value and without which our daily life would not be
what it is.
However, he
does not forget his great love for his works ”oil on canvas”, his very
charismatic technique according to him, and also works on a project about of the
atmosphere of the street.
he elaborates with several canvas a particular approach of the topic, while he
increases the vision of his subject.
they are painted in order to preserve their individuality, while preserving a
coherent form.
nicolas
noverraz lives and paints in geneva since 1996.
he accomplished many travelling for his painting and he is present in many
private collections in japan, in the united states, in the united kingdom, in
france and switzerland.
