Artist Statement
Oil on canvas
The first came I came to Beijing when I was a kid, I was deeply moved when seeing the vicissitudes of the old alley, looking at the pigeon wheel and hover in the clear blue sky with melodious whistle. And the memory was so clear in my mind, just like yesterday. Now, it is hard to see scenes of childhood, no feelings of old Beijing in brand new hutongs, with additional health problems and Incomplete rubble. When cross the hutongs and record with my camera, there is indescribable sadness in my heart. So,I make several portraits of old Beijing, to keep memory of my beautiful childhood, forever.
This painting use knife carving on wet oil material.

Artist Profile
Born: 1953

Based in: Paris
Jean-Luc Veret is a French artist born in 1953 who lives & works between Paris & Corancy. He recognizes himself as a protean artist. He is indeed graduated of Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts of Paris & Conservatoire National des Arts & Métiers. This originality is easily found in his artworks. They are entirely part of abstraction in playing a constant game between forms ans colors. The latter are opposing and harmonizing. For the painter, his artworks are a pure contrast between the visible and the invisible.
