L'accordéoniste tzigane (2003) Installation by Jean-François Boitel

Born on November 8, 1958 in Paris, I passed my childhood and part of my adolescence to Bry-surMarne. I live and work in the Vendée with La Roche Sur Yon since 1980. I started to paint in June 2002.

After a chaotic school course, I started to carve wood, the stone, and to model the ground towards the 20 years age. I have some make my profession until in 20OO, year when I fell sick.

I use all kinds of supports which arise, I paint with oil. and with the acrylic resin of the figurative scenes representing of the scenes of the everyday life characters, animals... All is release of my imaginary, an emotion, a word, an image can be the starting point of a table...

I privilègie spontaneïty, freedom in the choice of the colors, the subject and the composition. I do not have obligations, I paint as that come and so much worse if it is not well drew or paints, since at the beginning I paint for me, and so much better if that plait with a public.
