Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Color-Field Landscape, Les Champs II

2021

Mid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together. A journey of fabulous encounters for this artist, his work is impressive, not to mention his work in collaboration with very great artists." Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...

In Feb 2015 I signed up to several online galleries, every painting I sold boosted my confidence and I would spend hour daydreaming of becoming a full time artist. Since then I have come a long way and have been able to purchase my own studio, I now have a little sanctuary in my back garden. When I am not working as a part time book keeper, I can be found hidden away in my studio creating original artworks. I am inspired by the nature around me, from flourishing meadows to the crashing waves in the ocean, however I do like to add my own twist on things. I do love to work freely with abstract using colours and textures to guide me. For me Art is a necessity, I need to paint. The colours and images that swirl round my head daily I capture on canvas. I feel very privileged to have sold my work all over the world. My dream is to become a full time artist, With each painting I sell I take a step closer to achieving my goal. 13/08/2018 I took a leap of faith. Currently working as a full time artists.
