Darloz, a Franco-Canadian painter and photographer living in Nancy, grew up in Grenoble and spent many years in Canada. He reinvents the heritage of Art Nouveau through a universe he calls Nouvel Art Nouveau, combining an overflowing chromatic energy, multiple layers of colour that enrich the 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 interpretation of the Place Saint-Epvre, Darloz places the female statue at the centre of a whirlwind of Nouvel Art Nouveau style: supple lines, floral motifs and vibrant colours intertwine like a modern echo of the École de Nancy. The female figure becomes a source of light and movement, transforming the cathedral into a living showcase where architecture and nature meet.
