Arnaud Florentin, also known as Flow, is a painter born in Nancy in 1978. He has chosen this city as his place of residence and creation. His artistic work tirelessly explores movement through a unique gestural approach. His painting reveals itself as a constant quest for movement, characterized by an assertive gestural work.

 Influenced by Action Painting and Expressionism, Flow projects matter onto the canvas without ever touching it, creating original, spontaneous compositions. His painting reveals itself as a constant quest for movement, characterized by assertive gestural work. Using the Dripping technique, her faces come to life by pouring and projecting paint onto the canvas without physical contact, leaving room for the unexpected and artistic freedom. This particular approach reveals itself to be particularly sensitive to displacement and movement, skilfully navigating the borderline of the unpredictable. Painting must live, overflow, explode, surprise, touch the soul”, explains the artist.

If the techniques mastered and explored by the artist are multiple, the subjects tackled are even more numerous. In addition to portraits of famous and unknown figures, the artist depicts the contemporary world through scenes inspired by music, sports, urban life and popular icons, the human body, animals...

Flow has exhibited in various galleries in France and abroad, notably in Quebec, Rouen and Lyon, and at the District 13 contemporary urban art fair in Paris, as well as at the Ars Essentia gallery in Beaune. His commitment to painting runs deep, and is expressed through a gestural style that transcends the limits of the medium, skilfully navigating the frontier of the unpredictable. If you have the opportunity, I encourage you to discover his work in person at one of his permanent exhibitions or artistic events at the gallery.
