Having studied law and political science, he began his professional life by teaching at the Faculty of Law of Toulouse from 1970 alongside a career as a lawyer. However, he has never moved away from the artistic creation process, dedicating himself full-time from the age of 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Complete artist, Michel Marin writes, composes, sculpts.<\/p>\n<p>Laureate of the Paul Ricard Space in November 1995, Marin continues the exhibitions in France and abroad. In 1998 he directed a medium-length film &quot;Couleurs Intimes&quot; which condenses his paintings and writings. That same year, his meeting with the artist Jean Pons (1936-2016) was decisive. Their interviews and their epistolary exchanges are in the words of Michel Marin himself &quot;\u00a0<em>the gem of (his) artistic life<\/em>\u00a0&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>It was on the advice of Jean Pons that he began to travel, through &quot;traveling workshops&quot; in the Philippines, Vietnam, Canada, the United States, Russia via the Trans-Siberian, via Ulan Bator and Beijing ...<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46965 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-800x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"463\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-800x536.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-747x500.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-1320x884.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.marclabarbe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/DSC_9291-600x402.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px\" \/><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Michel Marin in his studio. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>A free and liberated creation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Marin has a technique and an artistic culture that gives him total freedom in his creation. &quot;Revealer of the imagination&quot;, he takes on this time a boring look that sends society and each of us to his own image. Freed from figuration, his works explore the expressive capacities of abstraction, in the direct line of informal painting. Black or golden monochromes, with rich shades, these canvases are also the support of a strong materialistic expression: traces of brushes, reliefs and play of volumes with the light.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2005, Michel Marin has found a base of retreat conducive to inspiration, in the Aude workshop at the Moulin du Christ in Peyrefitte-sur-l&#039;Hers.<\/p>\n<p>The Marc Labarbe Auction House has the honor of presenting fifteen paintings that are the result of his work on black and gold.
