Roland Chanco

Roland Chanco (1914 - 2017) was active/lived in France.  Roland Chanco is known for Painting.

Roland Chanconnier, dit Chanco, was born in 1914 in Indre -and-Loire.

In 1930, he moved to Paris where he then frequented artists from the Butte: Utrillo, Gen Paul, Picasso ...

In 1947, he finally left the capital for the south of France. In Antibes, Roland Chanco finds Picasso, but also Cocteau, Eluard and Miro. His pictorial research at the time led him to a new style, his "black period", where he stages characters on a black background or in dark colors.

During the 1950s, the artist became interested in abstract art and enhanced his paintings with collages and various materials. In 1960, he ended up destroying almost all of his works, as a way of wiping out the past.

From 1961 to 1975, he evolved in his so-called "kaleidoscopic" period where geometric figures and expressionist compositions dominated his paintings. This particular style that characterizes him and his talent as a colourist make him an artist recognizable among all.
