Title: Drawing 6

About the artist / Ronan Bouroullec

Artist and designer Ronan Bouroullec expands his exploratory “RB series,” continuing to create in his “intuitive drawing” style. Favoring instinct over intellect, he has shaped an almost universal, easily understood formal language.

“Perhaps one day I’ll stop designing, but I’ll never stop drawing.” Ronan Bouroullec is a painter, sculptor, and designer whose work is always simple yet rich in imagination and perception. He believes design is neither a luxury nor a fashion, but a way of life accessible to everyone—a harmonious state between the individual and the environment.

“I never draw in the studio. When I have time, I’ll draw at home all day. Drawing is a form of meditation for me.” Ronan brings a wealth of inner feeling into his work. At first glance, it may not make a strong design impression, but after living with it for some time, it forms a simple, peaceful relationship with its surroundings. His surreal expressive style, fiber-like marker strokes, organic, natural lines and shapes, and bright, lively colors are at once elegant and romantic, layering a dreamlike visual effect full of poetry.

When asked what painting means in his design career, he replied, “Painting is what I do in the evenings, at the end of the day, and on weekends. It is something I do entirely on my own, outside the studio, in the kitchen or living room. It is a very intimate practice, very free, because when I start, I don’t know what I’m going to do; it isn’t something I plan. It is very intuitive, instinctive. It’s like meditation. I start with a blank sheet of paper, then come lines, lines, and more lines, until I create a form. Then, when it’s finished, I forget about it.”

Painting is a way to heal from the mechanisms of design. It is a daily practice, a source of immediate gratification that no one can change, and it is completely free.

But what is the difference between drawing abstract lines and designing products? “Design is a collective situation; you work with engineers and companies,” Bouroullec replied. “It is a very long and often very frustrating process, because an idea brings wave after wave of joy, and then you feel frustrated when you discover that it is too expensive or will take too long to realize. Drawing is a way to heal from that mechanism. It is a daily practice, an immediate gratification that no one can alter, and it is completely free. I like both.”

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, born in Quimper, a small city in the northwestern part of France’s Brittany peninsula, are brothers and designers. Hailed as two rising stars of European design and among the most promising industrial designers, they are considered some of France’s most outstanding designers since Philippe Starck in the 1980s. Ronan excels in color theory and installation art, while Erwan specializes in display, lighting, and interior design. Their goals, however, are aligned, enabling them to work closely together since 1999 and win major design awards in France, the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
