Fabrice Plantard
A native of France, born in 1966, I received my diploma in fine arts and jewelry design in the south of France. Shortly thereafter, I devoted several years to fashion and graphic arts design in Paris and Hong Kong, winning several awards for design in France. In the late 1990s, I began again to focus my attention to painting, my original passion.

My abstractions are, at their foundation, the work of a colorist. For me, subtle gradations of color become the source of texture, and these textures a foundation of the creative process. I enjoy manipulating material, including plastics, resin, glass, paper, and plaster, with variations of color on canvas. Light and perspective are created through the translucence of these individual components, as they are synthesized in the composition.

I am resident in Paris and share my life between Sandpoint, ID and San Francisco, CA. I have exhibited my work in southern France and Washington, and have created art for installation in several private residences.
Other examples of my work are still visible in Washington, DC at "Caramel" a clothing/gallery store located at 1603 U Street, NW #B1
