Biography

Christian Moulin was born the 20th June 1950 in Cerizay, France.

After his artistic studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Bourges, he worked as a reporter and film photographer, notably for the television compagny TelFrance in Paris.

At the same time, he carried out personal research while numerous galleries across France exhibited his works : Salon d'Automne in Paris, Nouveau Salon de Paris rue du Louvre, Galerie Jean Vilar in Tours, Galerie Rumeur des Ages in la Rochelle, Hotel d'Herbes à Manosque, Galerie Contact in Bordeaux, ... as well as many regional centres of contempory art.

With an insatiable curiosity for the mysteries of the Universe and its origins, drawn by the intrinsic magnetism of archaeological sites, ancient architecture, old stones, he leads a passionate quest : to explore these fields of intense force, to seize the balance of an instant.

Through his works, reflections of a unique rapport between Man and Nature, this artist leaves us to discover a world, a veritable palette of colours, where the real and the imaginery, the conscious and the subconscious merge at the same time.

Removing certain elements from their original context and placing them in a setting with entirely new elements, he thus creates a further dimension, that of the dream, of sensoriality.

Many years of artistic creation and exhibition a continual evolution brings him to present to us "luminographies" : combining new techniques and new materials, these veritable luminous paintings reproduce by their appearance interior stained-glass windows.

The originality of these "luminographies" rests in the alliance of art, subjective, immaterial, and comfort, objective, material.

These paintings, resulting form perpetual artistic research, bring forth by their very fine framing and ligthness, a luminous ambiance and can, by their large format of over a square metre, be exposed just as easily in an apartment as in an industrial site.

It's possible to get quality's photographies from Luminographies.

These "luminographies" and photography translate the conflict between the passion of the man for images and his incapability of living them; the colours, the moods are the veil, the filter which separate Christian Moulin from this Universe which appears to be ours and the one towards which he tends.
