THE GHOST TRAIN Painting by Thierry Garnier-Lafond

Born on May 7, 1960 in Algiers. Study of applied arts in Poitiers of 1978 to 1981. Work as graphic designer with Bourg in Bresse in Ain. Several exposures between 1978 and 1981. Permanent exposure to the Town hall of Péronnas in Ain. Which difficult task that that to present its work. I can speak about my influences where rather my tastes, in painting first of all, Jerome Bosch certainly who gave me the desire for taking pencil and brushes, Philippe Druillet for his universe. And then Magritte and Dali and all others To last in Rembrandt. The music plays also an essential part in my work, that of Brittany, of the Maghreb, the blues of Robert Johnson in Rory Gallager, rock' N roll of Elvis with U2 while passing by Stones and Led Zepellin. And finally Mozart for the joy and per moment the blackness of its music. I do not have a message to deliver I am considered more as one craftsman of the image where I try to make pass an emotion, a history. I hope that will find pleasure to discover my work and do not hesitate in me to announce your impression.
