Statement of De Cluni Jean | Master rising artist.
Front 1990, I studied with Josep Castell, a French Catalan painter and famous sculptor ( la voute des mains, Deutschland )
In 1990 -93 in private art school to learn painting restoration. I know knowledges about conservation painting and differents materials no used by painters to perpetuate my works in a long time.
I have been a full-time visual artist for 25 years and I live in a small village in the famous Cathar country, Lesquerde named.

PRACTICE
Developped over the many years of different practice, I am self taught with different artistic applications as abstract painter and illustrator. In the years 1995-2005, I worked as an indepandant conservator-restorer for French museums as Orsay Museum, Louvres, Lille etc..
My studio was occupied in London since 2016 to do classical landscape ( especially the city of london that I love ) and I practiced too photography ( for 3 years now ). The global pandemic forced me to close this shop because it was difficult for me to travel with the border closures

INSPIRATION
By series, I work according to the influences of the moment : for example supernova series was inspired by Young British School ( Damien Hirst for example …) and abstract paint by french School : Support / surface and characters on abstract landscape ( the last serie ). However, I practice the classic painting too as portrait ( figure, animal ,…) or classical landscape.

There is no accident, no doubt, but my job is intentional as this black ink which solidifies in the air . Whose net is contorted over a stream of air and whose only hand has given a sense of approximate fall, fall due to that chance that gives any harmony to my paintings.
Not denying the influences of the Delaunay, by adding disruptive elements such as circles
colorful, or the colors of the symbolist Boleslas Biegas, the shapes of Poliakoff and the abstraction by Andre Lanskoy , all his painters whose works I have been able to associate with very closely in my studio. I like too so many others with the reliefs of Zao Wou Ki or the abstraction of the paintings of Roger Edgar Gillet.
Materials
These contacts of the material of the great masters were exceptional for the synthesis of my work.
I try in my work to make visitors discover a transition between the achievements of
the old that collectors will point here where there and a current vision of the painting.
