Description
Nicolas DE CRÉCY
New York-sur-Loire
Architectural ghost of the Empire State Building, 2013
India ink, watercolour and gouache for an illustration for this collection published in 2013 by Casterman. Signed. Framed. 70 x 50 cm.
Equally at home with Indian ink and watercolour, Nicolas de Crécy has made a habit of taking readers on a journey and disconcerting them, thanks to a radical, poetic aesthetic that makes his work instantly identifiable, and a sense of colour that opens up space for surprising encounters. He is an artist who appreciates representations of everyday life, plays with fragments of reality like mythological winks, and lingers on a multitude of details that stir the imagination. Drawing architecture has long been close to his heart, and this very special city (which has existed since Le Bidendum céleste), which combines European and American cultures, is one of the most representative examples of the meticulousness of his style.
