Born in Uccle in 1930 and settled in Paris from the late 1940s, Marc Janson belongs to that generation of painters who restored painting’s power of evocation and mystery. Trained notably with Édouard MacAvoy, he develops very early a singular plastic language, nourished by surrealism, cloudscape imagery, and a rich imagination where vegetal, animal, and human figures mingle in a unique visual poetry.
His work, exhibited in Paris, Brussels, Milan, Geneva, Singapore or even Honolulu, has been shown in major institutions such as the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris or the Fondation Maeght. Several of his works have been acquired by the FNAC, confirming institutional recognition of his work.
Janson creates suspended worlds, traversed by airy forms, mythical gardens, and metamorphic creatures. His canvases, often described as “dreamlike,” captivate with their narrative depth and technical refinement. They offer collectors an immediately identifiable universe, at once rare, poetic, and timeless.
Today, Marc Janson’s work attracts a public sensitive to imaginative painting and surrealist filiations. His paintings, sought after on the international market, are distinctive pieces capable of enriching a collection with their evocative strength and singular elegance.
