Il hésita longtemps entre une carrière de navigateur ( il fut membre de l'équipe de France de navigation à voile) et de peintre. Il choisit cette dernière. Son œuvre garde la nostalgie des horizons marins, des épaves rouillées, des traversées aventureuses. Son art en porte les stigmates, empreintes prélevées au flanc même des cargos.
Le tableau se construit très lentement, chacun nécessitant l'obtention d'une matière jamais assez traversée de lumière au dire de l'artiste, où se déposent les sédiments de la mémoire.
A réalisé de nombreuses oeuvres pour des sociétés internationales dont la Cogedim. Exposition récente à l'Assemblée Nationale de Paris
François CANTE-PACOS
Born in Paris in 1946.
He long hesitated between becoming a navigator (he was a member of the French sailing team) and painter. He chose the latter. His work has retained the nostalgia of seascapes, of rusted shipwrecks, of adventure. A sort of stigmata consisting of prints taken from the sides of vessels features in his works.
The artist has created many works for international firms like the Cogedim. There was an exhibition at the Assemblée National in Paris recently.
