Painting and sculpture are natural languages to him, because of the heritage accumulated from his family during several generations. His painting tends to a tridimensional transposition, to a symbiosis with his sculpture in bronze. The artist's intensive chromatic compositions are a real and proper architecture, constellated with symbols, almost like an alchemical alphabet. Marc Lewis is a contemporary sculptor with a unique style in both his techniques and chosen themes. During his last 15 years of work, he began feeling frustrated that so much metal was either cast or used as simple cut metal plates. Therefore, he refined his own technique to cold forge bronze, aluminum and steel so as to create powerful figurative forms and dramatic wall pieces with a play on icons and folds.   NEWS Jean-Luc Sollberger at L. Raphael (Geneva) September 3 – December 5, 2015 «Jʼaimerais que ma peinture soit le reflet de la société» Originaire de Genève, Jean-Luc Sollberger aime la ville et est résolument tourné vers les plus mythiques dʼentre elles. New-York, Tokyo, Paris... villes des extrêmes, villes symbolisant lʼargent et ceux qui le font, villes à taille humaine et cosmopolite, leurs architectures, leur puissance, leurs ondes, leurs habitants etc. ces lieux de perdition et de liberté sont autant de sources dʼinspiration sans fin pour le peintre.
