The Inviting French Garden by JP Courchia

Jean-Paul Courchia is a highly successful painter both in Europe and America. His oils were displayed in Marseille in the famous Provençal Gallery Jouvène, which Van Gogh and Cezanne called home for their artwork. Her Highness Queen Paola of Belgium, the wife of the Consul of Japan in Marseille, and the president of the National Arts Club in NY, are collectors of his work. Courchia is also a unique speaker, able to explain through a simple approach the way we see art. He is an MD and a renowned artist painter. He splits his life among his office, studio and the dept.ophthalmology where his two passions merge: he works on the relationship between art and the brain by analyzing eye’s movements. Shown here is a new oil painting by the artist.

Flashy Nightlife by French Artist D. Caudron

New works have arrived by French artist D. Caudron. Shown here are two. Dr. Caudron's paintings are based on a perfect match of the diverse structures of motifs - through skies forcefully crushed to grounds that offer surprising perspectives - and, while the artist is wandering on the chromatic scale with enthralling boldness, there is nothing he dares not do. Such balance in his works allows the eye to travel nowhere else than on the painted surface. The balance of the bold color palette juxtaposed with the seemingly surreal perspective allows one to be immersed within the work itself, eliminating the notion of the two-dimensional surface. The subjects of the works stand on their own, supported by the innovative use of an old master knife technique combined with a saturated use of color in its purest form.
