The predominantly abstract iconography of his paintings, which sometimes reveals an emergent and assumed figuration, offers themes of predilection: architecture, sport and nature.   These three axes of creation become the fundamental pillars of a man who has dedicated his life to erecting comfortable and unifying habitats for his contemporaries. An outstanding colorist, the artist invites us into his universe where volumes and light bear witness to a rich experience of experience and research on form.   Resolutely modern, not to say avant-garde, the architectural and painted work of Roger Taillibert invites to respect and meditation.  The musicality, the rhythm, the depth and the light that emanate from his paintings are imbued with a mysticism by the excessiveness of their formats.   Sometimes fragments or parcels of a continent, the work of Roger Taillibert is and will remain timeless, because it is universal in its visual and visual language. The narrativity in his creations is suitable for the viewer who accepts the proposal that recalls what Marcel Proust says of literature: “In reality, each reader is, when he reads, the own reader of himself. The work of a writer is only a kind of optical instrument which he offers to the reader in order to allow him to discern what without the book he might not have seen in himself.  To abandon oneself in the profusion of Roger Taillibert’s excessively rich work of sense and sensations was also, in his greatest sense, the humanism of a great man who incarnates and renews himself at the same time daily, and where he invites us. FROM HIS FIRST CHILD DRAWINGS TO HIS ARCHITECTURAL PLANS, ROGER TAILLIBERT HAS PLUNGED INTO FREE CREATIVITY.
