Jean Marie Le Guen - Le jardin du Poëte

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The artist Jean Marie Le Guen stands out for his landscape painting, in which he seeks distinctive views, imbued with a distinctive lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into a highly animated and dynamic pictorial style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution thanks to the expressive qualities of watercolor. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, made up of sudden flickers, effectively capturing the vibrations of light on objects. This is particularly evident in the rendering of foliage or the reflections in the water. The entire composition is imbued with a calm realism and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Jean Marie Le Guen is a French artist of Breton origin, born in Saint-Pol-de-Léon in 1926. A well-rounded artist, he began his musical career alongside artists such as André Verchuren and Jacques Chancel, before composing for Mouloudji. Since 1976, he has devoted himself to his other childhood passion, painting, pursuing impressionistic landscapes and a substantial production of portraits.
