Biography
Jean-Claude PICOT is a French painter born in 1933. Since 1956, Jean Claude Picot has worked exclusively as a professional artist. He is greatly influenced by the works of Fauvist masters such as Vlaminck, Derain, and Matisse, whose exuberant paintings drew attention in the early decades of the 20th century for their revolutionary use of color, texture, and abstract form. These artists inspired Jean-Claude PICOT for decades, and this influence can be seen in his work.
Picot developed a unique style reminiscent of a post-impressionist application of color, combined with the expressive qualities of form and line. His compositions are often soothing, reflecting his personal joy of living. He frequently captures the liveliness, romance, and essence of landscapes as his favorite subjects, although he also paints still lifes, urban scenes, markets, and festival scenes. All his work is imbued with the same bright and joyful character and is immediately recognizable.
Since 1947, he has exhibited in more than fifty solo exhibitions worldwide, including shows in the United States, Belgium, Norway, and Australia. Picot spends part of the year in the south of France and is often drawn to the Côte d'Azur—its visitors, beaches, and ports filled with boats. His work is rich in natural beauty and features breathtaking panoramic views bathed in the unique light of the Mediterranean. Picot works in a post-impressionist manner, reducing flowers, trees, houses, and figures to their essential forms.
In reviews of Picot's most recent solo exhibitions in Paris, Bordeaux, and Oslo, critics have noted the affinities between the masters of Impressionism and Fauvism of the early 20th century with Picot's work. Today, in the 21st century, Picot continues the tradition of the great French landscape painters.
Picot actively works across many media — oil, acrylic, watercolor, engraving, ceramics, and more recently, silkscreen and embellished silkscreen — which beautifully capture his vibrant color and pictorial technique. His work is a favorite among international collectors and is represented in prestigious collections worldwide.
