Patrick Loste didn't start with a paintbrush, but with a hammer: \u003cb\u003ehe was a blacksmith before he was a painter\u003c\/b\u003e . He lives and works in isolation in the Albères mountains, in a vast workshop surrounded by horses that roam freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e This biography seeps into his technique. Even in a medium-format work on paper like this one, Loste paints with the physicality of someone who has worked with iron. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e Although famous for his riders and horses (\"passers-through of the vastness\"), here he applies that same wild vision to the human figure. We see two silhouettes—a man and a woman—that don't seem to be posing, but rather sprouting from the earth. They are what critics call \"insubstantial visions,\" human traces dwarfed by the force of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Material:\u003c\/b\u003e The palette of \u003cb\u003eearth tones, sepias, and browns\u003c\/b\u003e is not accidental: they are the colors of his surroundings in Roussillon. Loste does not use color to decorate, but to build atmosphere. The brushstrokes are dense, quick, intuitive; they seek to capture the vital essence of the subjects rather than their physical appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003cb\u003eValue of the Piece\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePatrick Loste, a French painter with a solid track record in the contemporary art market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eTechnical Execution:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe mastery of wash and pigment is remarkable, achieving smooth transitions between dark and light areas without losing the strength of the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eTheme:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExplicit human figuration is a recurring and valued theme in his work, beyond his landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003cb\u003eWorkshop Note\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eThis work on paper functions as a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis is \u003cb\u003ea synthesis of Loste's pictorial universe\u003c\/b\u003e .
