MICHEL JOUENNE

FOR SALE IN OUR COLLECTION

Michel Jouenne is part of this nursery of talents from the "Young Painting of the Fifties". Since then he has never disappointed. He placed himself on the soil of Figurative Art. All his exhibitions bear witness to a creation that does not age. He remains attached to the gray walls, to the havens of silence of the rocks of Eygalières, Baux, Moustiers ... He astonishes by its materials, opaque and translucent at the same time, his large watercolored and troweled plans, luminous, unctuous, porcelain shimmering . In each painting, it is the joy of its creation of the landscapes or the marines: silent landscapes opposed to the roars of the waves. (Guy Vignoht "Universe of the Arts")
