Vincent Fournier

Vincent Fournier was born in Veysonnaz, Switzerland, in 1961. He lives and works in Sion and Saint-Léonard (Wallis).

“Vincent Fournier is a mystic painter who dedicates his entire inner life to his passion for Christ which he testifies and serves through his artistic practice, in a profound impulse.

His painting takes shape around a story with multiple readings. One listens attentively because everything here whispers; the vocabulary is minimal, sensitive, the gesture simple and right, the materials surviving […]

Rich in its extreme simplicity, this timeless abstraction inscribes verticality and horizontality, emptiness, centre and symmetry in a silent world, at once intimate and turned towards the sky. The lightness of the painted trace, the attention to transparencies and apparitions, the poverty of the materials and the symbolic use of colours act as balms of modesty. Constancy, passion and humility support these inexhaustible questions which express the fervour of the artist who works towards the union of form and spirit, according to his heart.”
