Notas : PROPERTY FROM A FRENCH PRIVATE COLLECTORBenanteur's paintings have formal and sensitive beauty, with a strong visual impact, being neither figurative, insofar as the image could replace a photographic object, nor abstract , because they are always rooted within the elements of a deeply observed and felt nature [...] Lyrical landscapes, in which the imaginary struggles with deeply buried memories. A floating world, close to that of Chinese painting, in which top and bottom are interchangeable within a limitless space. Marc Hérissé, Prologue in Galerie Claude Lemand, Ed., Benanteur, Volume 1, Paintings, Paris 2002, p. 7
