Alain Clément is a French abstract painter whose works grow out of a lifelong exploration of color, lines, curves, physicality and space.
Clément taught at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier from 1970 until 1977. He began teaching at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes in 1977, and was headmaster of the school from 1985 until 1990. He lives and works in Nîmes. Clément studied drawing at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, an art school in the Montparnasse district of Paris and learned engraving and printmaking at Atelier 17, an influential print workshop founded in Paris by Stanley William Hayter, a British Surrealist.
Clément has exhibited extensively, and his works are collected by several international public institutions, including Center Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, France; the Museum of Art and History, Neuchâtel, Switzerland; the Kunst Museum, Düsseldorf, Germany, and many others.
Clément’s practice is rooted in an exploration of color — sometimes color as volume, sometimes color as a lyrical expression of gesture, sometimes color as a graphic presence — always color as an element that is endowed with multiple meanings. His work fluctuates between painting and sculpture, a back and forth that both results from, and contributes to, an ongoing exchange of ideas.
The medium of painting offers Clément an arena in which gestural freedom, physicality, experimentation and immediacy can lead to the development of curved, graphic expressions of color and line, which may then be simplified and extended further into space as sculptural forms. Whether they manifest on a two-dimensional plane in a free and physical way, like a dance, or as a three-dimensional volume, intricately planned, his compositions can be understood in terms of the visual relationships they express between color and space.

About the artist: Born in Holland, Dutch artist Frans Horbach first visited New York when he was 17 years old, traveling on a cargo ship from Rotterdam, just as his fellow country man Willem de Kooning had done years before. Two years later he left Holland and emigrated to California. During the years that he lived and worked as a professional artist in America, one of the main sources of artistic influence came from artists belonging to what is now known as the New York school of American lyrical abstract expressionist art - Rothko, Pollock, De Kooning... He was attracted by their ideas, style of work, and more importantly, by their vital energy and uninhibited self-confidence. Horbach's work also was influenced, more subtely perhaps, by his contact with indigeneous Indian people during his journeys in the American South-West and Mexico. These encounters were a rich source of inspiration - they became integral to a philosophical framework which involved the appreciation of physical space in a poetic and artistic sense. In later years, as the result of his long-time interest in oriental art and philosophy, some of his work show a distinct affinity with the aesthetic sensibilities of traditional Japanse...
