Jean-Jacques Pigeon

"... Pigeon began drawing from a young age, inspired by the nature surrounding him. It was during the ‘70s that the artist had a real revelation during a Pierre Soulages exhibition at Centre Pompidou in Paris. The artist then attended art classes, in which he learned Bauhaus techniques and discovered the works of Simon Hantaï, a painter from the New York School, as well as the Minimalists of the United States. Pigeon later produced his initial canvases Hantaïeries pollockiennes and began questioning artistic concerns. Pigeon believes that art is a space for reflection rather than a place for a crafty act. His work is very open; before, the painter’s work was distinguished by the broad and vertical knots, whereas now, his work is more free and delicate. In this way, the painter wanders in the plants that he paints today. Greenery, flowers and stalks are at the heart of his work, allowing him to explore his art. ..."
