Jean Grimal is a true 20th century discovery. This breathtaking piece is a gorgeous example of his mastery as an artist. He beautifully creates chiaroscuro in this painting. The way the light touches the edges of the Chinese bowl and the grapes is an example of his skill in representing light. Jean Grimal (1942-1998) was born in the town of Tulle, France in 1942. Jean’s family moved to Paris when he was 8 years of age. After receiving a classical French education with studies in Latin and Greek, Jean Grimal entered the University to receive his Baccalaureate. He then attended Claude Barnard School for three years, when he received his Art Degree.  Upon completion Grimal taught art for seven years.  As Grimal’s own interest in formal painting and art began to possess him, the artist’s destiny changed.  In 1967 Jean Grimal stepped aside from teaching and pursued a career in professional painting and working as an illustrator in advertising.  As an advertising illustrator, Grimal worked with Lise Goldfard for more than 25 years at Studio 44 where they collaborated with major and important accounts, such as: Air France, Christofle, Peugeot, Lacoste, to name a few. At the same time he began presenting his formal paintings to galleries in Paris and Cannes, France and in London and Windsor, England.  Much to his surprise, Grimal found that his paintings were sought after by major art galleries and collectors throughout Europe.  After a number of years of being an important and successful art illustrator for these major accounts, he found himself having to choose between the two.  Fortunately for collectors, he chose to dedicate his life to the classical style of painting.  Jean looked at the simplest things in life through a microscope, where he could take the simplest object and depict the age of the fruit or the leaf. Jean Grimal received great pleasure from his work and painted for over thirty years.  As his style matured and became ever more perfect Jean Grimal truly reached the pinnacle of his career.  The artist’s methods were particularly distinguished when measured against his peers.  Grimal’s painting skill was distinctive and exceptional. Jean Grimal was known for his realistic trompe l’oeil and still life paintings.  The artist would carefully arrange the objects to form a satisfying composition.  By painting every shadow, highlight, and reflection within each composition Grimal brought mundane subjects to life.  His tight rendering combined with his attention to light and detail allowed him to blur the lines between illusion and reality, truly making his works one of a kind.  Grimal’s trompe l’oeil paintings consist of intricate compositions of cards, envelopes, photographs, paper of different materials and weights, backs of canvases, images of other artists’ works, kitchen utensils, pistols, and more.  Grimal had a talent for mastering these illusions that deceive the eye in his trompe l’oeil paintings.    No matter what genre Grimal was painting, tight, unperceivable brushwork characterizes his work.  The artist painted every crease and crinkle, every shadow and highlight, every detail.  By doing so, he was able to capture each individual surface texture of the objects in his paintings.  Grimal was also fabulous at depicting light in his paintings- often contrasting strong lights with strong darks, creating chiaroscuro modeling.  His still life paintings are reminiscent of Dutch seventeenth century...

Dicono di Angini Tra spiritualità e colore La scomposizione delle sue opere è frutto di quella della sua anima, sempre alla ricerca di qualcosa che vada oltre. Nei suoi occhi, come nelle sue tele, c’è una malinconia “viva” che ci attraversa e ci emoziona, trasportandoci in un mondo fantastico e complesso; come lui. Tutta la sua vita è stata una sperimentazione artistica volta alla conoscenza di sé, degli altri e del mondo che lo circonda. Nei suoi colori predomina il giallo della luce divina e della speranza. Una consapevolezza del sé ottenuta mediante la sperimentazione artistica come strumento di conoscenza, come atto di autoriflessione, attraverso l’indagine del proprio vissuto, in costante tensione con l’esterno, quasi volesse far emergere quel tripudio di emozioni che tiene nelle stanze della sua anima. Olimpia Bruni Intervista con Dalì Da un’idea di Josè Van Roy Dalì, “In mostra con Dalì”. Un progetto d’arte che si concretizza in una mostra itinerante, in omaggio al padre Salvador Dalì. Lo scorso anno partiva, come una caccia al tesoro, presso la Galleria Tondinelli, nel favoloso scenario del Complesso Monumentale di San Carlino delle Quattro Fontane, a Roma, la prima edizione della mostra itinerante con la partecipazione degli artisti: Vittorio Angini, Graziano Peretti, Fausto Ciotti, Ileana Della Matera, Loredana Bendini, Ada Cardilli, Patrizio Veronese e Mario Spigariol. Tra gli artisti in mostra di particolare rilievo – non togliendo prestigio agli altri partecipanti – le sorprendenti opere del pittore aretino Vittorio Angini. Invitato nel 2007 su segnalazione di Josè Van Roy Dalì, figlio d’arte del famoso pittore catalano, a partecipare alla “Quadriennale d’Arte Contemporanea”, tenutasi a Roma presso il “Vittoriano”, Angini collabora attualmente all’importante progetto d’arte “In mostra con Dalì”. I suoi quadri si trovano in collezioni private negli USA, Canada, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa, Inghilterra, Irlanda. La sua pittura, risplendente di luce diffusa, penetra nella nostra capacità e sensibilità di stimolare ricordi ancestrali, che pensiamo sepolti nei meandri della nostra memoria. In molte delle sue opere par di cogliere una sorta di metempsicosi del colore, che nelle sue ricercate tinte pare trasferirsi, espandersi, in ogni angolo della tela, fluttuando oltre le rigide forme del contorno, e dove la sacralità della luce rischiara quelle impalpabili zone della nostra anima in cui risiedono i sentimenti e le emozioni più profonde. I riverberi della luce scaturita dal colore allargano l’immagine, che pare perdersi, oltrepassare i confini della percezione visiva, quasi ad illustrare, ad indicare la strada di un mondo che necessariamente dimora e vive oltre il quadro, espandendosi in orizzonti più ampi. Le forme, i paesaggi, i giochi di colore, i ritratti, appaiono come effigi della nostra esistenza, che coesistono nell’intercalare del ticchettio del tempo che scorre. Addentrarsi nelle parole di Josè Van Roy Dalì è sempre oltremodo affascinante e l’incontro avvenuto presso la sua casa museo mi ha fornito l’occasione per approfondimenti sul pittore Vittorio Angini e su “In Mostra con Dalì”. D. I quadri di Angini, che ha voluto appartenessero sin dagli esordi al suo “viaggio” itinerante, svelano le verità nascoste dei nostri desideri e della nostra immaginazione. Trovano affinità con le Sue opere d’arte ed il Suo percorso pittorico? R. Prima di tutto trovano affinità con il mio gusto e con il mio senso estetico del bello. Inoltre, scavando nel “labirinto” artistico di Angini, tra i lavori del passato e nei vari percorsi, ho trovato molteplici mondi paralleli multicromatici, che mi hanno fatto apprezzare ulteriormente il lavoro di questo artista. D. Ho avuto modo di ammirare tra le molte opere esposte nella sua galleria privata, appunto in Via Salvador Dalì, quelle di Vittorio Angini. So che sono state largamente apprezzate nel mondo della cultura e dell’arte. Un suo parere strettamente personale su tali opere? R. Il modo immediato di trasmettere, attraverso i colori, indefinibili emozioni, con la medesima semplicità di un grande romanziere. D. Maestro, in questa interessante esposizione “In mostra con Dalì”, ciascun artista presenterà, accanto alle sue, tre opere. So che ha fatto la ricerca dei pittori presenti in mostra con molto impegno e serietà, con quale criterio li ha selezionati? R. Ho saputo “ascoltare” le vibrazioni del colore e individuare, attraverso le varie tematiche, la peculiare sensibilità di ogni singolo artista. E poi, per dirla tutta, mi sono affidato al mio gusto personale, immaginando quali fossero le opere che avrei gradito collocare nella mia residenza… e quali tra queste, avrebbe apprezzato anche mio padre. D. Com’è sbocciata e che traguardi vuol raggiungere questa mostra? È puramente un omaggio a suo padre Salvador o è un omaggio ad entrambi i Dalì o...

Oil on canvas, signed and dated 2016. French handmade wooden Delf raised panel frame, gold leaf and green patina on red bolus background. Unframed size: 25.6 inches high x 21.3 inches wide. Framed size: 33.5 inches high x 29.2 inches wide x 1.13 inches deep. Sold framed. The true colors of the painting are shown in photos #1 and 2. With its mostly white tones and intricate, textured background, this work is nearly a complete departure from the artist’s other paintings. Although it is executed in a powerful chiaroscuro from a classical point of view, the counterpoint of contemporary objects with the vibrant colors make this painting distinctly modern. Green cabbage and spring onions “pop” against the simple white enameled jug...
