Résumé : Moving towards the sea, or approaching the cliff to simply sketch its contours and discover a shape there, is what Guy de Malherbe tirelessly strives to achieve. Rather than seeking to subdue the landscape, he chooses to encounter it. Rather than capturing the world, his paintings allow it to emerge. Whit his brushstrokes, the motif becomes an enigma to be solved. With his visions of anthropomorphic rocks, floating bodies and incandescent cliffs, the visible opens up to the imagination.Rooted in the tradition of landscape painting yet decidedly contemporary, Guy de Malherbe’s paintings are a celebration of the beauty of the world – elusive, ever-changing and constantly renewed.This monograph, with essays by Olivier Kaeppelin, Cyrille Sciama and Pierre Wat, sheds light on a body of work that invites us to see the world differently, to cross the thresholds of reality and enter the shifting realm of painting.
