Blanc gris d'hiver 

Olivier Debre created this painting, titled "Blanc gris d'hiver," using delicate washes of color to evoke a winter landscape. The composition is dominated by subtle gradations of white and gray, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. Debre’s application of paint challenges the viewer's perception, as the faint lines and soft edges invite us to question the boundary between representation and abstraction. His technique reflects a broader artistic concern with conveying subjective experience, and the physical properties of paint, over the objective depiction of reality. The canvas becomes a field of pure sensation, where the absence of clear forms allows for multiple interpretations. By deconstructing traditional landscape painting, Debre prompts us to consider how art can destabilize fixed meanings, and instead, engage with new ways of thinking about space and perception.
