Born in Puy de Dôme, France, in 1960,
François Lassere is a self-taught painter who practices several
techniques.
He was interested in hyperrealism for many years, then moved
on to working in raw material, when a painter in Paris suggested to him
to expand to new techniques. LASSERE then embarked on a new trend,
which he calls “Oppositionism”.
From this point on his work will mostly
consist of highlighting heterogeneous styles to extract harmony from
them.
He was awarded a gold medal at the Rome academy in 1998, and has
been referenced in the international valuation guides since 2000
Picturesque
cottages, neat low fences, low-key street lamps in the shape of balls,
cropped trees with crowns, a variety of colors, narrow cobblestone
streets and sidewalks - three meters wide, which is difficult to pass
one another oncoming car, causing many of them one-way traffic. All well
maintained - all in a good tale.
The difference alpine villages in neighboring countries is still
present. In France, the facades are painted brighter and richer
decoration - Christmas wreaths and decorations are replaced by summer
garlands and flower vases. Clipped hedges, shaped crown tui and
eloquently called "rock gardens" (rock gardens, rockeries) with a
seasonal blooming rhododendrons and other shrubs complete the picture,
merging man-made environment with the miraculous environment. Bring a
special charm to the mountain streams, karst, and replenished by melt
water - their tumultuous murmuring streams of crystal water enliven the
landscape, making it even more fabulous.
Alpine
huts are the traditional houses - chalets built of local natural
materials, stone and wood, as a whitewash for the plastered walls using
lime. Everything that grows and lies and get baking - limestone
dolomite, pine and hardwood wax-end bass - all native, and his own. High
ground floor is always erected of stone, not only to reliably protect
the house from the cold, wet, snow, but also to build the foundations
and walls of the basement at any hillside. In addition, this center of
gravity of the structure - and it would be strange to assume a wooden
bottom and top of the stone.
All the upper floors of the classic chalet
(usually the first and attic) were collected from solid timber softwood
(pine and larch). A tree over time by wind, snow, rain, sun and cold,
oxidized, morilos, darkened, became tarred. Facades facing the weather,
or the shingles were trimmed with wood chips, so they did not look very
presentable. It is also very cost-conscious and traditional - who's
looking at them! But the east, facing the sun facade, is the most
beautiful and looks over the valley and the rising sun. Its walls are
plastered, painted white with lime, decorated with bright murals,
decorated ledges, balconies and carved. The motives of painting, as a
rule, are a religious plot structure: the Virgin Mary, Pentecost,
Christmas scene with a barn and sheep, the worship of the Magi, and the
saints, keepers of the hearth: Florian, Leonard, George, Sebastian and
Christoph giant. Often the motto inscribed on the facade, witty sayings
like: "Building a house could be a priceless pleasure, if it were not so
wasteful." This is the front facade, full of comeliness and decorum.
Such is the simple and unpretentious chalet
architecture: a massive and substantial stone plinth, whitewashed with
lime first floor, log or lumber over, loft with a simple gable roof and a
sloping, deep nahlobuchennoy home and prominent edges harboring the
wall from the rain, made of wooden balconies, the darkened ceiling beam
inside and a warm, enveloping comfort of the interior. All of this
chalet - and nothing more.
