'Ne vois-tu rien venir #2, ' by Josette Simon-Gestin, Acrylic on Canvas Painting

About the Item

This 39" x 47" acrylic on canvas painting by French artist Josette Simon-Gestin depicts a colorful imaginary interior with two female figures, one a young mother, the other a young girl in blond braids, both with their backs to the viewer. The interior also features a predominant white chair on the right and other abstracted objects in the space. The painting has a palette of blues, reds greens, and white and is from the series “Ne vois-tu rien venir?" The work is signed by the artist and is has a gallery wrapped canvas. "I painted this series of three works when I was confined in Brittany, stunned and bewildered by the pandemic.”-- Josette Simon-Gestin "I grew up in Brittany, France where I studied art at the Beaux-arts in Rennes. I moved to Oklahoma City in 1987 and started to print at the Paseo Intaglio Printers to show my art in group and individual shows. My art work was shown in Florida, Missouri, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and in Japan. I later moved to Philadelphia where I was involved with the Women’s Caucus for Art and Art at the Armory. After three years, my family and I returned to Europe. In Italy, Austria, and France, my work was exhibited in several galleries. In Brittany for four years, I reconnected with my roots and was invited to show in the Euroceltic Festival in Lorient. During this stay in Europe, my work was still shown in the United States and was acquired by private and public collections. I have shown my work in Copenhagen at the French Cultural institute, at Global Art Gallery and Gallerie Lorien with the Artival festival, among other places. I was part of the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts 11 times and was the poster artist in 1992. I have had several one-person exhibits in Oklahoma at the Norick Art Center Oklahoma City University, City Art Center, Pickard Gallery, Untitled ArtSpace, Nault Fine Art. I am currently represented in OK by Objets Trouvés. 'Back in Brittany since 2017, I have shown my work at hôpital Bretagne sud and Saint-Grégoire institut supérieur des Experts-Comptables, at Improbable Jardin gallery and at the Ploemeur médiathèque. I am part of the 101 Kunstnere book, 101 artists in Denmark for 2018-2019 and the Dots on the wall catalog, exhibit at the Lorien Gallerie at Copenhagen." -- Josette Simon-Gestin
