Despite fulfilling numerous commissions and exhibitions at several prestigious galleries, Jean Claude Tron did not begin to dedicate all his energies to painting until 1990. Jean Claude Tron is passionate about the southern region of France, in particular Provence, and this remains his essential source of inspiration. The extravagance of the colors in his palette betrays the influence of Fauvist Expressionism, featuring brilliant yellow, deep azure blues, strong reds, shades of violet and just a touch of vivid green. His airy canvases are characterized by simplicity of form which represents the natural order of the countryside, while the thickly applied blocks of color make the fields vibrate with light. This is the only work available by Tron at the Westport River Gallery.
