In his purely artistic works, Lambert did not choose to follow fashion, either in France, where he studied, lived for eleven years, or in Japan, where he lived for as long. In 1981 he presented his own “New Pop Art” in Paris, with painted images drawn from the rapid interpenetration of cinema and television shots, combined with details from advertising, “fashion” photography, and computer graphics, “cine-romances”, and aspects of a diffuse eudemonism. In 1985 he felt that in single-dimension pop, in spite of its apparent multifariousness, saturation-point had been reached. After a period of reflection, of the study of philosophical theories and creative silence, he began to work on “Spiritual Pop Painting” and “New Renaissance” (his own terms) in order to graft spiritual quests, which he saw to be missing from the “image”, together with responses to the existential needs of the viewer on the way of thinking and acting of his own artistic experience.
