Jean-Daniel Bouvard sets sail! Head to the Cyril Guernieri Gallery, nestled in the heart of the very chic Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, to discover the iodized work of this French painter shared between Paris and Marseille. The sea, undoubtedly, his favorite motif... The artist reveals in this contemplative exhibition the emotional density that the bite of the sun on tanned bodies or the fury of the waves on the pier gives him. A reassuring immensity elevated to the rank of an inexhaustible source of inspiration towards which the painter has continued to strive since the end of the 80s.

Should we see an obsessive design in this? Without a doubt. The artist has the habit of placing his easel at random during a stroll, fixing on the canvas the poetry of a moment before dusk finally overtakes it and the light escapes. Enveloping and tumultuous like a rough sea, his seascapes manage to effortlessly recreate the warm tones of the Phocaean city, the dense and generous nature of a garden in Italy or even the view of a mysterious diving board on the banks of Carantec in Brittany. From one shore to the other, will you be able to resist this call from the open sea?
