About the Item

Contrast is Contemporary Representational Art of a Canadian Landscape with a twist of Abstract. “Whatever my particular aim is, atmosphere is a constant when conceiving my work. lt is through composition that I express my emotion and enter into dialogue with the other. My pictorial universe is dominated by the vastness of the land and its conflictual element. World events, climate change, war and injustice leave their indelible mark on my mind. ln my work, imaginary lands are superimposed on real ones, creating numerous possibilities. There arises a mix of immobility, mystery and silence, in which the human race advances towards an elsewhere. Through my artistic language, I communicate my perception of the world today. My artistic language is primarily and profoundly instinctive, intuitive and non-conformist. In the studio, I paint in oil or acrylic, adding pastel or pencil on occasion. First of all with urgency, the primal impulse your create. Then an initial emerges composition, followed by the work of reconstruction. 1Iuse monochromes in particular the produce of a dramatic effect and accentuate the seriousness of my aim. Randomly, over the course of the passing days and over I go about, my eye picks up in a fashion, the forms, saturated colors and vibrations of my surroundings and records them in my subconscious. Back in front of my canvas These elements spring back, are revealed and shaped my own aesthetic. For me it is essential that my paintings project a certain duality and that they are enigmatic and open ta varia us readings. 1 do not work with the viewer and his or her expectations in mind. They are up to their own resonance, their own meanings and pleasure. Nor do I work according to the artistic currents of the day. What I’m looking for in an inner need, independent of trends. The work of art, like everything that is vital, must be able to evolve. I’m in the contemplation of nature that I find my inspiration.”

  • Froid du l'Etang, French Expressionist Oil on Canvas Lake Landscape
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Mid 20th Century French Expressionist oil on canvas of a lake in its frozen landscape by Jacques Pinon. The painting is signed bottom right and is titled on the stretcher and signed to the back of the canvas. Pinon was noted as an artist in various mediums as well as painting, including tapestry and stained glass. His appreciation of colours and forms are very evident in this painting where he has captured a winter landscape but with subtle colours and forms giving movement and a jewel like feeling to the composition. The cold frosty light of the day animating a rural landscape, his use of layers of colour against raw canvas giving the feeling of the glassy lake. Jacques Pinon was a 'Renaissance Man', accomplished in many aspects of art and literature. he painted, worked in stained glass as well as sculpture and tapestry - he studied and worked at the National School of Decorative Art of Aubusson. He was also a poet and published writer. “All the forms of expression of the artist Jacques Pinon are brought together.

Pinon exhibited extensively and internationally including a major exhibition in PARIS in 1954. “JAZZ.HOT” alongside Dali – Courtaud – (les) Delaunays – Dubuffet – Duffy – Leger and Mondrian. He also an exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art – Sacred Art Salon in 1960 in PARIS, at the Salomon Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Foundation Royaumont. His tapestries were exhibited in France in 1969 in the city of Lyon at the Galerie Verrières with GilioliI and Lurcat. His painting and sculpture are at the crossroads of several universes. Lively and luminous like a Corrida afternoon, the light reminds us of the work the artist did for the stained glass windows, he plays with both using different techniques and styles and his thirst for discovering new forms of expression. He came from a noted family of artist and artisans. His great-uncle was Alfred de Musset; his great-grandfather and his grandfather both Courtots from the Gobelins factory in Paris, and his family were all friends of Rodin. In 1952, his meeting with the architect Le Corbusier was a close collaboration around projects carried out with Lucien Herve...
