About the Item
This 39" x 47" acrylic on canvas painting by Josette Simon-Gestin depicts a colorful summer imaginary seascape with female figures. "I painted this series of three works when I was confined in Brittany, stunned and bewildered by the pandemic. I create an imaginary seascape. I like the idea of a woman at the shore staring at the horizon as a metaphor. A woman is raising her arms in perplexity. A boat in the water, a meditative woman, and a jungle of plants expresses my state of mind. As the same time, the ocean is the place of possibility and freedom as we can enjoy the weightlessness of the sea when swimming and a boat is a good getaway. Bright colors make the scene cheerful and positive. From the series “Ne vois-tu rien venir?”-- 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.
