Benoît MORLAND
“Traditional painting and digital brush”
BIOGRAPHY
Benoît Morland was born on July 6, 1963 in Dole in Jura. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Besançon from 1984 to 1989. At the same time, he trained as a musician at the conservatories of Dole, Besançon and Grenoble from 1974 to 1990.
From the end of his studies his professional life was organized around music without ever abandoning oil and acrylic painting.
In 2016 he discovered “Digital Painting”. Since then he has continued his artistic adventure with this medium:
“My digital Brush reacts to all the subtleties of my gesture, with exceptional freedom and fluidity.”
His creations:
His abstract painting is closely linked to Jazz and improvised music.
His figurative painting, for its part, represents objects or scenes from daily life that appeal to him:
“A scene, an object appeals to me, I take a photo, the story that emerges will be born in my studio…”
In both cases he offers us a rereading of a sound and visual environment that he observes with passion.
Benoît Morland also offers us “exhibition concerts” with saxophone and piano accompanied by other musicians.
He describes himself as a “traditional digital brush” painter.
All his works are printed on art paper: Fine Art Cotton with high quality pigment inks in limited series, numbered* and signed. They are printed by himself in his workshop:
“Printing on art paper is an integral part of my creative process. »

*In practice, each print is unique: color variation, quality of details, choice of paper. Many parameters are implemented during printing, which explains this variety of prints.
