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. "My Babe" is an original work featuring a jazz singer surrounded by her four musicians. 
The artist transports us in a lyrical and groovy composition on a background of shades of blue and clothes with brown, orange and red tints. The relationship between women and men raises the question of parity in the world of music and arts. In Duranel's work, the eye travels instantly, free as air. The gaze does not stop and continues to traverse the canvas, influenced by people, animals, landscapes, musical instruments, objects... Each detail seems to give birth to another that gives you a new vision of the work without limits. Without concern for perspective, it is the colors that create this effect of depth, plane and movement in his paintings. These stagings are the result of a true story of the world built with harmony and humor in a quest for love between reality and imagination.
