To borrow a phrase from Malraux, Dominique Raynal aims to make his art the shortest route between one man and another.
He is an artist of globalization, whose works open a window on the world and its many cultures. Each painting is an invitation to embark on a journey of the mind through fragments from the five continents - a voyage which begins with the warm colors of Africa before moving on to Asia and calligraphy, America and native americans, the Aborigines' ancestral homeland of Australia and even Germany, with borrowings from the Bauhaus movement ...
Just as he blends cultures, he also likes to combine materials and colors, with collage work which makes use of fabric, wood, paper and many other unusual media.
Portraying our world's "multiculturality" and inviting us to gaze on this ode to the diversity of mankind.
