The second of four children, Demagny was born in October, 1949.
He graduated from a School of Architecture in 1974, formerly known
as the National School of Fine Arts. After receiving his diploma,
Demagny became chief architect of the French city in which he still
resides today. "I have always been fond of musical analogies
and would say that as an architect I am a conductor, and as a painter,
I am a soloist."-Demagny
It was during his years in school that he explored an interest in
painting. He worked with graphic designers, painters and the
plastic arts. Color and matter have always influenced Demagny’s
style. Many artists have influenced the manner in which he paints
today. A very talented artist by the name of Nicolas de Stael, painted
abstract art. He dealt with sharp angles and the absence of hue.
Demagny’s work is obviously influenced with his sharp cut edges
of petals and their monochromatic background.
Another artist that greatly influenced Demagny is Bernard Buffet,
graphic designer. While he used a different medium, his work
represented the idea "less is more." Buffet put his feelings
into an ordinary object. Demagny wants this in his paintings. He
lets
his emotions guide him along the canvas.
"I have reached my current style, which is now well established,
working by layering colors with the pallet knife and spatula.
This is the culmination of 37 years of passion and practice."
-Demagny
Presently he devotes more time to painting as architecture can not
express his creativity any longer. His favorite subjects include,
landscapes, floral arrangements, music and automobile racing. He
loves these subjects, but chooses to not confine himself to
one in particular. The color and style of Demagny’s paintings are
truly an expression of himself.
