About the Item

A fine work of art by listed French artist, Gérard Eppelé. Titled “l’Homme Sur Un Pied” Gérard Eppelé whose metaphysical forms of humans is a very interesting piece of masterful art. The Man on one Leg is only one of the hundreds of great works he painted. This is an original artist proof or epreuve d’artist signed and dated. When Gérard Eppelé chose to set up his workshop in Arles in 1998, he left Tourettes-sur-Loup, where he lived since 1973, teaching at Villa Arson, a national art school located north of Nice, for more from twenty years, until 1992. Born in Cherbourg in 1929, he grew up in Morocco, returned to France in 1942. First trained in the profession of adjuster, he then attended the School of Fine Arts in Toulouse then, for two more years, the Aubusson National Tapestry School for which he obtained a scholarship. He worked for a few years as a painter and decorator in the cinema with Max Douy and Claude Autant-Lara. In 1959, health problems forced him to settle in the southeast. Established in Vence, he meets Jean Dubuffet and becomes his assistant. The latter recommends him to Alphonse Chave who allows him to make his first exhibition, "Sleeper", in 1960 in Vence. This contemporary painting by listed French artist, Gérard Eppelé deserves a modern frame. It will enhance any contemporary or modern setting. Measures: 24" W x 1" D x 30" H More About the Artist: After two years at the National Tapestries School of Aubusson, he becomes a decorator painter for the film industry- with Max Bouy - working for directors such as Renoir, Autan-Lara or Bunuel. He has to stop due to health problems; obliged to stay for a few years in a sanitarium, he begins to make many drawings including one suite, portraits of his companions stay. He meets André Bazin with which he participates in the creation of a film club. Gerard Eppelé settles in south-eastern France in 1959. That same year (1959), Jean Dubuffet's meeting is crucial; he becomes for a time, his assistant and Dubuffet allows him to make his first exhibition at Chave de Vence Gallery “Drawings of the moment, Small Ball of Heads”. Since then, Gerard Eppelé has continued to paint, draw, sculpt and numerous individual and group exhibitions in France and abroad (Germany, Egypt, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, Italy, England, Norway and Sweden, U.S, Kenya, etc.) have shown his work. Chave Gallery held no less than eight exhibitions of the artist between 1959 and 2000. In 2006, a splendid exhibition of his work “The practice of Melancholy” is organized by the Villa Tamaris of La Seyne / Mer. Besides his work as a painter and sculptor, while teaching until 1992 (Villa Arson in Nice), the artist becomes interested in the world of printmaking (etchings and lithographs), and so probably more thorough, the world of book illustration, accompanying happily his poets and writers friends (André Verdet, Tita Reut, Claude Haza, Marie-Agnes Courouble and many others). This painter, through the constancy of his work, always keeping a direction and without following movements, continues to move us. The artist likes to recall that in order to achieve color, one must go through black and white. Torments bodies and minds. Gerard Eppelé has built an original work; his pictorial speech is an experience of the consciousness and his gaze of his personal vision’s world. For him, the act of painting becomes the lucidity of humans through the pain felt. Gerard Eppelé, who has long lived in Tourettes / Loup (Alpes-Maritimes), now lives in Arles.
