Artist Name: Demagny

?I have always been fond of musical analogies and would say that as an architect I am a conductor, and as a painter, I am a soloist.? During his years in school to become an architect, Demagny explored an interest in painting. He worked with graphic designers, painters and the plastic arts. Color and matter have always influenced Demagny?s style through artists that affected the manner in which he paints today. A very talented artist by the name of Nicolas de Stael painted abstract art. He dealt with sharp angles and the absence of hue. Demagny?s work reflects DeStael with the sharp edges of his petals and their monochromatic background. Another artist that greatly influenced Demagny is Bernard Buffet, graphic designer. While he used a different medium, his work represented the idea ?less is more?. Buffet put his feelings into an ordinary object. Demagny wants emotions present in his paintings. Demagny adds, ?I have reached my current style, which is now well established, working by layering colors with the pallet knife and spatula. This is the culmination of 37 years of passion and practice.?
