Nicolas Ruelle
France • Abstract Artist
Nicholas Ruelle was born in 1969 in Argenteuil, France and has become widely celebrated both for his evocative paintings and as an accomplished composer. With an academic background in Letters and Arts and an initial focus in television composition for French television broadcasts, Ruelle later pursued painting independently via autodidact learning methods. Today he lives and works in Vendee where both musical studios as well as his first painting studio have been established simultaneously for ease of his dual passions to coexist in one location.
Ruelle's artistic output predominantly features landscape paintings that draw their inspiration from nature around his studio. Ruelle's paintings reflect his musical research; rhythms and melodies in his compositions find visual manifestation in his art. Ruelle uses color as the cornerstone of her work, providing each painting its form while subtly hinting at what lies beyond. His paintings contain shapes which suggest rather than define themselves explicitly. Ruelle offers his viewers the freedom to interpret his works in their own unique manner, creating a deeper interaction with his artworks. His technique captures nature not as static images but as living creatures whose scenes change on canvas like music does, producing fluid images.
Nicolas Ruelle's work is regularly showcased across France and Belgium, where his unique blend of visual art and music draws an expansive audience. Ruelle's groundbreaking integration of compositional techniques into his painting process and lyrical landscape representation make his art distinctively impactful; art lovers as well as critics appreciate how Ruelle explores sound-sight relationships while providing new insights into art's relationship between sound and sight; his exhibitions become highly anticipated events within the art community, calling attention to his ongoing evolution as an artist with rich melodious works that continue his expansion into new areas of creation.
