Frédéric Blainmont - In Conversation

This episode features Eric Grech as the voice of French figurative artist Frédéric Blainmont. It is the first time we have experimented with our podcast guest being represented as an actor and the whole experience was quite interesting!

Frédéric Blainmont is an observer of the everyday characters who are found in the banalest of situations. Anonymous figures emerged through his painting as he remains curious about his contemporaries.

His paintings will allow you to leisurely criticise the supposed delinquencies, flaws, and inconsistencies found in society.  In contrast, the paintings feel smooth, almost delicately and restfully executed. The subdued pastel palettes, plain backgrounds, and monochromatic play make the figures almost feel poetic.

Frédéric paintings are profiles of accuracy, with a subtle dusting of condemnation. He captures men and women; exploring our relationships with bodies, with food, and the unavoidable issue of excess and overconsumption.

Find Frédéric Blainmont on Instagram and on the @nordicartagencypodcast where we have featured several of the works discussed in the podcast.

We are delighted to represent Frédéric Blainmont exclusively at the Nordic Art Agency and look forward to exhibiting a series of images at the Nordic Art Agency in our exhibition Interior Souls launching at the end of August 2021.
