The serenity that other painters find in studying and depicting nature, Andre Renoux has discovered in portraying cities. Most often it is Paris, but also London, Venice, San Francisco, Boston or, as in the case of Carriage House, New York. The artist's canvases are born from careful observation of architectural elements, streets and storefronts. Passersby never appear in the paintings. However, the uninhabited, motionless, dreamlike cities are full of traces of human presence.
