Rene Legrand studied classical and old master techniques at the Slade School. Amongst contemporary artists the unique style of Legrand has brought many private clients as well as commercial success, an example of which was a commission to do the art work for the film "Greystoke" and for Nina Ricci's television commercial "L'air du temps". Rene has also had several solo exhibitions that have been a sell out. Exhibitions in UK include The Priory Gallery Cheltenham and Harrods Art Gallery. The work of Rene Legrand is extremely popular and there will always be a demand for his attractive and colourful beach scenes, they remain highly collectable. He paints mainly in Devon and Cornwall during the summer months, capturing the delightful scenes usually featuring family and friends. Many artists, including Legrand, are captivated by the special light quality unique to the St. Ives area. This is lovely and very decorative work, invoking memories of some of the great St. Ives School painters of the past, and still highly affordable. Over forty of his pictures have over the years been produced as prints, including Limited Edition Prints. His talent also extends to the production of limited edition sculpture that is produced in bronze resin. There are also numerous images reproduced as greetings cards.
