Born in 1954 in a small town of the French region Poitou, Jean-Pierre Bréchet, teacher, has always been painting. He enlisted in the abstraction in the early 90s, with a first work on forms inspired by nature and trees. Since ten years, the painter works on a series called "Furrows and Compositions." In a book published in 2010, which explains this pictorial process of Bréchet, the writer and sculptorr Pierre Bergounioux wrote :
Jean-Pierre Brechet aligns more or less crude, approximately parallel strokes with a painful and awkward care, and it moves us immediately [...] And with just a glance the viewer can be sure these paintings made of an elementary, repetitive, somewhat laborious pattern express accurately, powerfully, the human action by excellence, which is to distinguish.
Currently and till the 29th of February, the bookshop offers an
exhibition presenting various paintings of the artist.
