Hervé Chambon

Acrylics on canvas

Born in 1969 in Paris, Hervé Chambon is immersed in art from his youngest days. Very soon acclaimed by art critics, his work is hyper-realistic in which the finest detail and sensitivity are confronted by the intimate colors of the artist's studio.

Hervé Chambon's realism and sense of detail come from his passion for antique-hunting; his sense of observation, developed on the basis of revisited everyday objects reminds us of Balzac's literary descriptions in which a place becomes imbued with the warmth of the objects he describes.

But even more, Hervé's paintings strive toward bohemian perfection through his intimate studio scenes, the door of an old hotel, or a benign shop front.

Simenon's readers, detective movie enthusiasts are bound to find in Hervé Chambon's works, that tiny detail from which the plot unwinds.
