Claude JOUHANNEAU (1931-2011)

Claude Jouhanneau's drawings, inks on paper and richly textured canvases feature recurring themes of still life, landscape and studio views. After graduating from the Beaux-Arts in his native Tours, he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and then the Arts Appliqués in Paris. In the 60s, he took part in the Salons de la Jeune Peinture at the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, and in 1976, he exhibited in Tours with Manessier, Alechinsky and Bram Van Velde. The Galerie du Haut Pavé and the Galerie Nevers in Paris, the Galerie Sisley in Brussels and the Maison de la Culture in Sceaux subsequently presented his work in special exhibitions. Claude Jouhanneau is a tireless observer of the world around him, and brings it vividly to life through his use of color, his lively gestures and his mastery of composition, whatever the medium. A diffuse, captivating light emerges from the dense, grainy, matte pictorial layer, which is sometimes ultramarine and black, sometimes predominantly white.

A posthumous exhibition of his work was held in 2016 at Galerie Deneulin and La Grange du Boissieu, near Grenoble.
