About the Item

We are very happy to present the wonderful work of Gérard Blain, a passionate and talented artist. Gérard Blain, born in 1938, is an atypical artist. Coming from a modest family, having stopped very early in his studies, he became a waiter, a job he would do for many years before opening his own restaurant with his wife. In parallel, he writes, draws and paints and even tries to sculpt. This self-taught artist learns by mimicry, reproducing the great masters but also his cat in motion. The style of this passionate and talented self-taught has evolved over time and especially since the death of his wife. Before, he painted what he saw, since he paints what he feels. This overflowing creativity has become a necessary means of expression. After a darker phase in his work, he now focuses on humor drawings, not unlike an artist whom he particularly admires: Sempé. Which leads us to conclude this portrait with a sentence of Gerard Blain: "Life must be funny". Here is a first series of drawings filled with humor and life! Single work. Signed, with certificate of the artist. Mixed media : felt, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil and chinese ink.
