Septembre 1967 - Nice Matin Luc Janetzky: A Painter of the Future with Definitive Talent Until the end of the week an Belgian painter,  of Polish origin, is giving an exhibition at the Antiquaire Gallery, Rue du Clocher. With respect to the success achieved by this tropezian exposition,open since the beginning of September and which will close the season, it would seem interesting to trace the career of Luc Janetzky, who unfortunately is confined to a Brussels hospital for quite some time. But written relations sometimes facilitate contacts and we have been able to obtain some information about the motivation of a young artist, who in the course of the various exhibitions in France and Italy, has met with a warm welcome His clients include Sophia Loren, Anne Sylvester, and many other actors perhaps attracted by the unreal aspect he has of seeing and conceiving his works. Indeed, his paintings seem to be perpetually in motion and the reliefs which shine with a million lights are like so many inaccessible constellations in a very individual universe. A present an independent painter, Luc Janetzky acquired baa solid artistic background in Belgium where he studied for years before truly being launched into the word of painting.. Personal materials The materials he uses evoke thoughts of lead, brass and all kinds of metals which have only a distant relation with painting. It is perhaps thanks to these unusual materials that Janetzky is able to break free, attract and then keep a steady stream of unconditional admirers... Treated, powdered metals are used as a base and his “raw material”, special composition, treatments protect the canvases from the dangers of oxidation. They vary according to the effects desired by the artist. Then come the colors which are most often orange, blue and white...but why not let Luc Janetzky reveal his purpose and talk of his style: “If an artist's paintings express something, there will always be a guideline, a common denominator, even if he passes by successive and necessary stages. Is my style definitive? If , according to Buffon, style is nothing more than order and movement put into  one's thoughts, it's the same problem with painting; every day the style of the painter expands more since every day he will have more to say... If an artist stays faithful to his palette and to himself, he will always have a personal en definitive style; the possession and mastery of his powers will become indispensable to him for putting “order and movement” no longer solely in his thoughts, but in all his forms of perception, whether they be intellectual, instinctive or even sometimes revolutionary! According to Luc Janetzky , the idea of “vocation” has been long outmoded and a man fulfills himself in the full exercise of his functions, as much as his personal accomplishments. Thus, an artist must seek out social integration, in order to really find a great part of his liberty in the pursuit of his work. Criticism of critics Then, in connection with the writing of a journalist who compared his work to “painting of affection” , Luc Janetzky denies ever having thought such thing and blames him for seeing things in his paintings that Janetzky never put there... and buoyantly pursues a career which promises even greater success, which no  one or nothing could deny.
