Light is the true master of the works of François Faucher. Vibrations run everywhere - through colours and through forms. Objective and subjective throbbing permeates every component of his paintings. Backgrounds are more than mere surfaces: they become part of the composition in their own right. The intenseness of figures, flower-pieces, and still-life compositions emphasizes whirling chromatics and forms. Postures are full of expressiveness and vitality. Shattered forms remain figurative but questions nevertheless arise. Music is everywhere - in many compositions as well in their pictorial execution. Pleasure for the eye and stimulation for thought.

Jacques de Roussan, a.i.c.a.
