PEINTRE NE

Van Que, peintre né, a plus d’une corde à sa
lyre d’où il sait tirer toutes sortes d’accents. Un

lyrisme naturel embaume tous ses bouquets
de fleurs, ses nus sont idéalisés et en haut de
gamme; il traite avec autorité et puissance tous

les paysages. D’aucuns parleront de son esprit
de géométrie, car ses oeuvres, même celles
aux apparences les plus libres, sont solidement
structurées et harmonieusement architecturées.
Ce serait mal le connaître que de mettre

l’accent exclusivement sur la solide valeur de
ses substructures. C’est la pratique musicale,
qui lui est familière, qui du géométrique nous

verse dans le spirituel.
Francis J.P. Chamant, l’Académie de Marseille

A BORN PAINTER

Van Que, a born painter, has more than one
string to his lute, from which he knows how to

draw all kinds of accents. A natural lyricism
pervades all his flower bouquets, his upscale
nudes are idealized, his landscapes are all
treated with authority and power...

Some will speak of his geometrical spirit, for
his works, even those that may appear as the
VAN most liberated reveal a strong sense of structure

and an harmonious architecture. It would be
QUE to misunderstand him if the stress were put

only on the solid value of his substructures...
Art It is the practice of music, so familiar to him,

which serves as the link between geometry
2 and spirituality.
