Darloz, a Franco-Canadian painter and photographer living in Nancy, grew up in Grenoble and spent many years in Canada. He reinvents the legacy of Art Nouveau through a universe he calls Nouvel Art Nouveau, combining an overflowing chromatic energy, multiple layers of colour that enrich background and form, supple lines, vivid or suggested perspective and chiaroscuro, and vibrant urban landscapes. Exhibited for over thirty years in France and Canada - notably in Nancy, Vittel, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Toronto and several Canadian galleries - Darloz also has a work in the museum collection at the Musée international d'Art naïf in Magog (Canada). His work, appreciated for its emotional power and its ability to reenchant reality, appeals to collectors and visitors alike with an instantly recognisable aesthetic that conveys a joie de vivre.
In this view of Saint-Georges Cathedral from the Place Stanislas, Darloz reverses the codes: instead of placing the form on the background, he builds the background on the form, letting colours, curves and motifs invade the architecture. This reversed technique creates a luminous vibration, where the façade seems to emerge from a decorative whirlwind with an energy typical of the New Art Nouveau style.
