Artist Statement
Oil on canvas
Jacques Trichet is a French artist born in 1955 who lives and works in Saint Martin Lars in Sainte Hermine in France. After a stay in Mexico in 1978 where he discovered Mayan drawings as a revelation and upon his return to France he confirmed his choice to become a painter.
Three painters hold his attention: Turner, Zao Wou-Ki and Rothko. Three breakaway painters to whom he feels artistically or philosophically close. Between the figuration of Turner, the dazzling of his last canvases and the abstraction of Zao Wou-Ki and Rothko, the painting of Jacques Trichet takes shape. He chooses oil paint for the flexibility and smoothness of the materials which allows him to render both the softness and the violence of life.
He also adds oil pastel for more recreational moments where he rediscovers the magic of marsh landscapes. Personal or group exhibitions lead him to travel to France, Europe and China where he is an honorary member of the Cao Dong Academy, a monastery in the Jiangxi region.

Artist Profile
Born: 1965
Hometown: Montargis
Based in: Montargis
Fabrice Lettron is a French self-taught artist born in 1965 who lives & works in Montargis, France. He practices the technique of sculpted paper. It consists in gluing several thousands of small pieces of coloured paper manually, then compressing them and once dry, they are sculpted or machined. There is no painting. Colours are those from the paper. Fabrice Lettron creates surrealist and abstract works in 3 dimensions. The virtues of paper leave infinite possibilities to his imagination.
