JEAN DUQUOC (FRA)

Born in 1937 in Nantes, France
Lives & works in Belz, France

Jean Duquoc is a French artist who lives in his beloved Brittany. In his work, we can see the skill with which he uses color, moving directly into the essential, in the force of the intensity of expression, becoming strikingly admirable in its rendering of living beauty. He often structures surfaces decoratively, playing curved and straight lines against each other, along with landscapes rendered by juxtaposing blocks of color surround-ed by black. Some may see this way of handling a landscape as an allusion to the Pont-Aven School, with which it is often compared. In crimsons reds, plush earthy greens and vibrant daffodil yellows, the language of the landscape is reduced by the skillful hand of this artist to its quintessential nature. For Duquoc these works are not mere painterly explorations, but transformative works. They are transcendent moments articulated in paint, where the cosmic force of the universe may be seen and explored it is, according to the artist, in moments of quiet reverence that the magnificence of an ever changing and dynamic landscape reveals itself. Duquoc’s work is highly regarded and collected. His work may be found in both distinguished public and private collections worldwide.
