the work of Christian Halna Du Fretay is perhaps best defined as the art off . One enters his painting stealthily, with the feeling that order lights, other emotions are going to spring out from behind the splashes of colour.

His art is a mixture of vibration and calm, a constant coming and going between the unspoken and the revealed. The absence of details, far from beeing seen as something missing, end our senses leaping to all four corners of the picture.

It is also like traces of lights slipping and sliding like tectonic plates in a slow earthquake, preparing the ground for the revelation of many secret. Depth springs from this smouth moving surface. It makes us want to sit down, there, on that chair, and feel the wind caressing the colour around us.

It is a little bit of like passing, daily life in its raw state, material to be remodelled according to our moods and whims.

It is a moment of radiance, poised, which appears, vibrates and then flies.

Jean-Christophe Hervé.
