He paints shamelessly in the manner of the expressionists a ridiculous humanity sometimes pathetic but he often does it with humor. His characters often rub shoulders with animals, spirits, demons or gods. They are propelled into a situation where everything can change: either towards the deepest humanity or towards this animality present in each of us. Jean-Louis SIMONIN is therefore always at the limit between the sayable and the unspeakable that haunts men. It then allows us to glimpse the unconscious, the one that precedes all reason, all control. His subjects do not slip under the gaze, they stop it and question us about our own duality. The artist is also always at the limit of the visible and the invisible. Jean-Louis SIMONIN obviously, like his friend the painter Alain-Michel BOUCHER, is influenced by the artists of the Cobra movement: CORNEILLE, Pierre ALECHENSKY, Jean Michel ATLAN, Asger JORN and Karel APPEL. It revives this unruly and mocking inner child, endowed with an overflowing energy that our rationalist civilization has buried deep within us.Biography of the artist: Born in 1934 Jean-Louis Simonin on the advice of his wife who noticed his talent enrolled in the course of Robert Savary professor at the Beaux-arts de Rouen in the 1970s. The artist will test all the techniques, oil, gouache, engraving but also collage. Quickly, he found his own style, which he himself described as expressionist. His subjects are therefore very often characters who question the viewer about his own dualities. He also paints in a more figurative style the landscapes he likes such as Normandy but also the Var having a workshop in the south of La Garde-Freinet near Saint-Tropez.This description has been drawn up by us following our expertise and the various reference works on the artist in our possession, any copy or resumption is therefore prohibited.
