Exhibition of paintings "L'Hérault flamboyant" by David Rycroft
We know David Rycroft for his large panoramic works on the city of Montpellier, made in situ. He paints exclusively "on the spot", capturing the moment of life. Over time, the subject has changed. Further away from the urban dynamism, David Rycroft, who has been living with his family for years in the hinterland of the Hérault region, has enjoyed painting other living beings that are so precious to him: trees. This time the artist invites us to question our relationship with the natural world.
