Mister Newhalf Displays Mystical Images In The French Perspective

The meditative and airy qualities of Mister Newhalfs paintings reflect his fascination

with the ephemeral and mystical qualities of the prevailing skies. Mister Newhalf, born Alain Bulle (b. 1964), is a French painter who trained at the cole Rgionale des Beaux-Arts in Besanon and cites Andre Oudet as the source for his aesthetic. However, Mister Newhalfs compositions recall medieval devotional imagery as well as the Surrealist nature of Salvador Dali and the ethereal works of Giambattista Tiepolo.

Dynamic gradations of various colors serve as backdrops to his compositions. The rough and hurried treatment of these gradations is reinforced by the gestural, dribbled application of bold reds, yellows, and greens. Through this element of the works, Mister Newhalf introduces the spectator to the cathartic aspect of his creative process. These compositional elements are then contrasted by the delicate white contours of his angelic figures and biomorphic forms. Whereas the background and sporadic drops of paint suggest emotional release, the detail of his angels and figurative forms evoke meditation, introspection, and prayer.
