About the Item

We are very happy to present the wonderful work of Gérard Blain, a passionate and talented artist. Gérard Blain, born in 1938, is an atypical artist. Coming from a modest family, having stopped very early in his studies, he became a waiter, a job he would do for many years before opening his own restaurant with his wife. In parallel, he writes, draws and paints and even tries to sculpt. This self-taught artist learns by mimicry, reproducing the great masters but also his cat in motion. The style of this passionate and talented self-taught has evolved over time and especially since the death of his wife. Before, he painted what he saw, since he paints what he feels. This overflowing creativity has become a necessary means of expression. After a darker phase in his work, he now focuses on humor drawings, not unlike an artist whom he particularly admires: Sempé. Which leads us to conclude this portrait with a sentence of Gerard Blain: "Life must be funny". Here is a first series of drawings filled with humor and life! Single work. Signed, with certificate of the artist. Mixed media : felt, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil and chinese ink.

Drawings from Mt Gretna, III

By Thaddeus Radell

Located in Atlanta, GA

"My work principally consists of deeply abstracted figure compositions--intuitive constructions that begin with random marks establishing larger masses of torsos, heads, and limbs in an undefined setting. The emphasis is almost purely on intuition. The figures are born of their surrounding environment, emerging only partially and fugitively from the layers of pigment. A narrative is evident but never overt. A crown, a shield, a boat, a wheel. Though the subject has recently coalesced around my reading of Dante and Shakespeare, the settings remain extremely vague- a beach, an interior, a woodland. The paintings are, in the end, meditations on the relationship between the protagonists in a wordless drama. In my paintings, I use a cold wax medium...
