A deep sensitivity to nature, in particular to the vibrations of light and the forms that emerge from it, is at the heart of Benoît Singy's work. The places where he works and the seasons are therefore of utmost significance.
The painter plays with the power of expression and the layering of the materials. This allows them to express their own plastic richness. His practice and appropriation of artistic and handicraft techniques reveal an immediately recognisable singularity in his works, based on the themes of traces, ghosts and the fragility of being, usually punctuated by a strong gesture.
In an age obsessed with mastery, the artist counters with the imperfection of his gesture, reflecting the spiritual dimension of life. Benoît Singy's abstract works reveal the pictorial imprint of a place, a memory or a sensation.
