Painter side Artprice 2005 in the auction-room Drouot Neuilly,
the painting of Gregoire Debailly strikes by the extraordinary promptness of
his colors, the audacity of his pallet and by the quality of his work. Currently
he lives and works in Paris.
"For me the problem of painting, it is that of an effectiveness
which has as an aim, by any means, the sudden appearance of an image, of something
of new. Which I seek to seize on each one of my paintings it is this moment:
the moment when all is done and demolishes in a miraculous and transitory tremor,
this vibrating moment of the urgency, the urgency of living."
"For me the gesture of the painter remains more recognized because
it is the gesture which consists in affirming its individuality while resisting
the standardization, by being opposed to any form reductionnism. Worst spite
than a painting can make us would be to leave us completely indifferent "
