About the Item

Jean Duranel is a self-taught French painter, ceramist and sculptor who was born in Seine-Maritime and studied at the Beaux-Arts in Rouen and then in Paris. He is internationally known and established for years. He was awarded the City of Le Havre prize in 1974 and is now a member of the Biennale 109 (Artistic and Cultural Association). His first works, around 1966, were more on the form and the plan then it is around 1985 that his characters make their appearance. From then on, we witness a theater of the little things of our existence as seen by Jean Duranel. "A l'Olympia, Sonny Rollins" is a figurative and dynamic representation by Jean Duranel of a jazz concert by the tenor saxophonist and jazz composer, Sonny Rollins, at the famous and mythical Olympia hall in Paris. The eye travels instantly, free as the air in the artist's paintings, it gets lost and discovers the history of the scene or scenes interpreted. Stories from all over the world, multitudes in one canvas. The characters or objects respond to each other in his paintings like a coming and going, subject to new interpretations. Without concern for perspective, it is the colors that create this effect of depth, plane and movement in his paintings. Chance has nothing to do with it, everything is reflected and thought out intellectually by the artist to make the viewer travel and question him. Reality and imagination merge in a humorous or sarcastic touch. These stagings are the result of a true story from around the world built with harmony and humor in a quest for love.  Black American box frame.
