Georges Dussau (1947) - Grande gravure

Signed DUSSAU (Georges, 1947) – Large engraving no. 13/99, aquatint and carborundum on embossed paper, abstract composition, “Avant L'Orage” - 1980.

() Embossing on paper consists of creating relief by pressing, producing a hollow in certain spots. The paper is then deformed by pressure, using a machine. Paper embossing gives your documents a distinctive tactile feel.

The painter and engraver Georges DUSSAU was born in 1947 in CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE. He now divides his time and work between MELLECEY (Saône-et-Loire) and MOUGINS (Alpes-Maritimes). Georges DUSSAU studied art at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in PARIS. He began his career as a painter in 1969 and held his first solo exhibition at the Hôtel de Ville gallery in CHALON-SUR-SAÔNE in 1971. The young man dreamed of becoming an artist, and this dream came true in the early 70s when he went to PARIS to present his work; he was quickly noticed for his talent and style. It is with editor and gallerist Jacqueline de CHAMPVALLINS that he earned his reputation. For over 50 years now, an artist with an abstract expression, he has focused on oil painting, screen printing, engraving, and mixed media techniques. His works are characterized by a range of vibrant colors and an expressive use of color and form. Georges DUSSAU combines fluid lines with fragmented geometric shapes. Over his long career, the artist has exhibited his work in more than a hundred exhibitions around the world. His works have been shown in many cities, notably PARIS, TOKYO, NEW YORK, and HONG KONG. He has regularly participated in international contemporary art fairs (DÜSSELDORF, FRANKFURT …). His works are part of the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou in PARIS and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in NEW YORK. A tireless worker, perpetual creator, Georges DUSSAU transports us into a poetic universe of his own. “I’ve spent my life having fun in my studio with serious work,” he writes. Notably in engraving, nearly 680 original works were created in a little over 50 years! A prolific artist, indeed, he writes: “Great happiness is living from one’s passion.”
