Jean-François Grébert
Return to the depths of oneself, to find there the dazzling vision of forgotten moments. Bring them back to light and explore them.
Jean-François Grébert is a French painter. He was born in Enghien les Bains in 1965, into a large middle-class family. Great-grandson of the orientalist painter Georges Lemare, and descendant of Robert Bichu, painter and engraver (18th century), both from Coutances, in the Manche, he grew up in contact with the beauty of nature and landscapes.< /p>
Hypersensitive, he has developed his universe and his style since childhood by observing nature, drawing and painting. Fascinated by perspective and the effects of shadow and light, he naturally turned to the graphic arts.
The most assertive works arrive around the age of 18, in 1983, and are inspired by escapades on the small ring of Paris and in underground quarries, as well as other explorations urban areas and forgotten places in the city and in nature. Abandoned houses, castles, etc. They are the expression of the search for a dreamlike world specific to lost childhood. His interest in railway atmospheres and travel memories explains the frequent presence of trains and disused stations, suggesting the romanticism and poetry of imaginary journeys.
In 1988, he passed the entrance exam to the National School of Fine Arts in Paris and joined the workshop of Henri Cueco. He graduated in 1993.
He then began a long series of paintings from nature created in situ, criss-crossing France. More than 1000 works of this type have been made until today.
The evolution of the artist over time is characterized by many challenges. The period of the 1980s, very inspired and youthful, was followed by the time of maturity and technical experience thanks to outdoor painting and the practice of copying old masters. The touch becomes safer and more assertive.
Today recognized for the hyperrealistic brilliance of his dreamlike landscapes and his work made to order, he exhibits his work every year in Barfleur, and regularly in Pornic , Bordeaux and Paris.

Exprimer ce que je perçois du monde et de sa vérité première, sonder au plus profond et au-delà des mots, ce que la vie cherche à nous dire, par des jeux de perspectives d’ombres et de lumières, de formes et de couleurs.
Du plus profond de mon âme ressurgissent des visions fugitives et insaisissables, provoquées par des ambiances vécues, paysages rencontrés par hasard, lieux mythiques de mon enfance où la mémoire se perd.
Mon attention se porte parfois vers les vestiges de civilisations disparues qui semblent nous montrer le chemin de l’éternité.
Ces tableaux représentent différentes étapes de ma recherche qui n’a pas fini d’évressurgissentoluer.
