Lebelen
Nicolas Lebel, alias Lebelen, is a contemporary French painter. Since 2016, he has been painting as a professional artist. Starting from the exercise of draping, Lebelen will explore the onirism/dreamlike to finally meet his "Sleepwalkers" a year later.
He will freeze their dozing escapades in his "Sleepers" collection as they "fall asleep" stretched out on the ground or perched on a stepladder. It is not by chance that trees are used; rather, there was a requirement for verticality and an environment that supported the characters' movements. The finished artworks are neither entirely tangible nor entirely confusing.
Under the façade of classical painting, his "1900" collection transports us to a romanticized and dramatized version of the Belle Époque. He frequently draws inspiration from great authors like Maupassant, Zola, and Dumas and creates amusing scenarios with postures and customs that are completely anachronistic.
Nicolas Lebel was born in 1981, in France. He exhibited his works nationally.

Voyage dans une Belle époque fantasmée et théâtralisée. Inspiré des grand auteurs tels Maupassant, Zola, Dumas fils, ... Un premier travail de mise en scène photo laborieux et créatif. Il en résulte des situations dont les postures et les codes sont parfaitement anachroniques. Parfois vaudeville, burlesques ou drôle.
