Port de Dieppe (2008) Painting by Jean Quéméré

Jean Quéméré is a contemporary French painter renowned for his evocative landscapes and vibrant impressions of nature. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of sunken paths, bustling markets, city streets, and tranquil port scenes, Quéméré's work reflects a deep connection to the world around him.

Influenced by the works of renowned artists such as Sisley, Monet, and the painters of the school of Rouen including Lebourg, Pinchon, Delattre, and Bordes, Quéméré's artistic style is characterized by a quick and spontaneous touch. His paintings exude optimism and a palpable joy for capturing the essence of his surroundings, particularly when painting en plein air.

Despite achieving recognition as an artist, Quéméré remains dedicated to the intimate moments he spends immersed in nature, continually seeking inspiration in the landscapes of Normandy, which he considers his promised land. Through his recent works, viewers can explore familiar coastal vistas and cobblestone streets of the Saint-Maclou district, rendered with Quéméré's signature spontaneity and poetic vision.

In Quéméré's landscapes, the human figure gradually recedes into the background, allowing nature to take center stage as a source of meditation and contemplation. His relentless pursuit of capturing light in all its nuances echoes the impressionist heritage, particularly evident in his exquisite snowscapes reminiscent of Monet's masterpieces.
