Ensemble

---

French National Leopold Clouvel’s Ensemble transforms geometric abstracts into a visual, melodious symphony that envelopes listeners and invites viewers to share the dynamic experience of musical expression. A joyous expression of music in the air becomes reality with his expressive colors and geometric abstractions. His Ensemble depicts a symphonist in a crescendo of music that can come only from a talented group of instrumentalists filling the air with grandeur.

Clouvel gives Ensemble the forms and spaces that exist in his creative imagination. Compelled by his condition of chromesthesia, Clouvel created Ensemble to share a representation of the depth of colors he perceives in his mind upon hearing a symphony. Moreover, Ensemble is an avant-garde painting, combining both the styles of Picasso and Kandinsky. Eloquent placement of multifaceted, abstract forms in different dimensions and at diverse angles gives Cubists a unique freedom of representation. Combining the principles of Cubism in the style of Picasso and the non-objective, abstract art of Kandinsky, Clouvel achieves an extraordinary artistic expression. With no formal art education, the enigmatic and unconventional artist envisions and creates avant-garde, over-sized oil paintings that please and inspire. His perception of the aura of music fills the canvas with joyous Cubist reality.

Since the 1980s, discerning collectors have chosen Clouvel’s paintings for their incorporation of varied styles, techniques, and materials. Introverted and somewhat reclusive, the extraordinarily talented artist brings a depth of understanding and interpretation that makes his oils the centerpiece of exceptional collections.
