Jean Duranel was born in 1946 in Fécamp (France). Initially self-taught, he then graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Rouen and the Beaux-Arts de Paris. He was awarded the City of Le Havre prize in 1974. Jean Duranel's figurative painting is a journey into the artist's colorful imagination. He is a member of the committee of the Biennale 109 and former president of the Salon. He is a member of the Taylor Foundation. Atypical artist, he defines himself as an amused witness of the world that surrounds us. His art, qualified as singular, allows him to transpose his vision of the world, whether it is ideal or real, through the juxtaposition of scenes of everyday life. Although very structured, Jean Duranel's paintings are simple to read and understand. He is inspired by what he loves, namely cinema, music, meals and the different means of transportation that he finds as unusual as they are surprising. This way of reinterpreting the obvious through the technical play of the image is in the purest figurative tradition and stirs our jubilation. The artist plays with paradoxes and color contrasts, building his canvas from the traditional "tiling". Through his chromaticism, he reinvents space and rearranges time. Carried by the line, his telescoping, acrobatic juxtapositions, polymorphs between humans, things, animals and plants give birth to paintings and sculptures. This dreamlike world (his own identity) takes us from wire to wire towards the unexpected, arousing the surprise of an emotion born of the discrepancy between the proposed situation and the reality of a story that owes nothing to chance.
