Louis olivier chesnay

l'oeuvre de louis-olivier chesnay est restée longtemps inconnue.
une farouche volonté d'errance, une instabilité qui vient d'une irrépressible soif de découvertes le font peindre à tous les instants. il enregistre les images, saisit à la seconde des lumières superbes. son tempérament, sa nature s'épanouissent pleinement, mais le doute veille. résolument indépendant, il travaille hors de toute contrainte intellectuelle ou esthétique.
