Description

Renato Meziat’s paintings reveal an immense technical ability allied to a penetrating pictorial intelligence. For all their evident precision and skill, the painter is not interested in viewers appreciating that aspect for its own sake. He wants his work to affect people the way his first artistic love, music, does. He says, “I don’t want to make people think. I want to make paintings so beautiful that when people see them they just can’t think of anything else.” Essentially a self-taught painter, Meziat’s technical proficiency is all the more impressive for being the result of years of trial and error and intense observation.
