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 Fauve 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 one can see this influence 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, bearing his own joie de vivre. He often captures the animation, romance and essence of landscape as a favorite 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 recognizable.
Since 1947, he has exhibited in more than fifty solo exhibitions around the world, including shows in the United States, Belgium, Norway and Australia. Picot spends part of each year in the south of France and is drawn to the Côte d’Azur—its visitors, its beaches and its harbors filled with boats. His work is rich in natural beauty and features breathtaking panormas flooded with the unique Mediterranean light. 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 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, engraving, ceramics, and more recently screen printing and embellished screen printing—that beautifully capture his vibrant color and pictorial technique. His work is a favorite among international collectors and is represented in prestigious collections around the world.
