Yves Hasselmann was born in
Belfort (France) in 1948. He
now lives and works in the
Franche-Comté region.
After studying philosophy, he
began expressing himself at an
early age through music and
painting. He went on to draw
from both media the energy,
passion, emotion and freedom
that were essential in his life.
From compositions to
recordings, from concerts to
exhibitions, Yves Hasselmann
followed a path that rapidly led
him to abstraction in painting
and a real freedom of sound in
music.
He held his first exhibition in
Paris at the age of 28. Lively,
assured, poised and controlled,
his brushstroke mirrors his
touch on the keyboard. His
encounters with the artists
Ladislas Kijno and Jean
Messagier were determining
factors.
His work as a colourist painter
is characterised by numerous
series of prints of his
environment and of interior
traces captured by his
memory. The media in which
Yves works have become more
diversified over the years, and
include canvas, paper and
metal. |
