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 the Fauvist masters such as Vlaminck, Derain, and Matisse, whose exuberant canvases drew attention in the first decade of the 20th century for their revolutionary use of color, texture, and abstract form. These artists inspired Jean-Claude PICOT for decades, and you can see this influence in his work.
Picot developed a unique style that recalls a post-impressionist application of color, combined with the expressive qualities of form and line. His compositions are often soothing, bearing his own joie de vivre. He often captures the animation, romance, and essence of the landscape as his favored subject, although he also paints still lifes, urban landscapes, markets, and festival scenes. All of his work is imbued with the same bright, joyful character and is immediately identifiable.
Since 1947, he has exhibited in more than fifty solo exhibitions around the world, including exhibitions in the United States, Belgium, Norway, and Australia. Picot spends part of the year in the south of France and frequently draws the Côte d’Azur—its visitors, its beaches, and its ports filled with boats—into his work. His art is rich in natural beauty and offers breathtaking panoramas 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 more recent solo exhibitions in Paris, Bordeaux, and Oslo, critics noted the affinities between the masters of Impressionism and early 20th-century Fauvism with Picot’s work. Today, in the 21st century, Picot continues the tradition of the great French landscape painters.
Picot works actively in many media — oil, acrylic, watercolor, printmaking, ceramics, and more recently screen printing and embellished screen printing — which beautifully capture his vibrant color and pictorial technique. His work is a favorite among collectors worldwide and is represented in prestigious collections around the world.
