Gustave Singier

Gustave Singier was a Belgian painter active in France as part of the new Paris School of Lyrical Abstraction and the Salon de Mai. After a meeting with the painter Charles Walch, who encourages him and reveals to him the liberty of pictorial expression, he started to participate in numerous Parisian Salons from 1936 - Salon des Independants, Salon d’Automne, Salon des Tuileries, etc. In 1945 he is one of the founding members of the Salon de Mai. As with other painters of his generation, Singier discovers Kandinsky, Klee, Mondrian. In this period his art has become more fluid, thanks to the effects of watercolor. This is where the artist excels. The work of Gustave Singier expands in diverse ways: from mural painting, tapestry, stain glass, mosaics, costumes and theatre set design, burin engraving, lithographs, to illustrated works. Gustave Singier will teach in Paris, at the Ranson Academy from 1951-1954, then at the School of Fine Arts from 1967-1978.
