The Painter
of the Invisible
"What strikes the heart in this work is the desire to approach the invisible… Here, nothing is easy—except beauty and originality."
— Nicolas Lehr, journalist
Born in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1963, the young Lion discovered early the artistic effervescence of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. At the age of eleven, crossing Rue de Seine and Place Fürstenberg on his way to school, gallery windows became his first classrooms — awakening an eye and a sensitivity that would never rest.
He later joined the Beaux-Arts studio in Paris, under the direction of Pierre Carron, where he forged his artistic tools. In his oil paintings, colorful layers and delicately applied glazes verge on the gestural.
But beyond technique, one subject haunts him: the invisible. The silence between forms. The fragility of what lives and breathes. A palette — dazzling — in service of what cannot be spoken.
Lion Bamon explores intimacy, the invisible, silence, and the fragility of living things. Through observation, he finds his path.
"Here, colors are tested, emotions are translated into form,
and ideas are allowed to breathe."
It holds the silence of thought, the rhythm of gestures, the traces of time.
