Saint Jacques, une enfance.jpg (2011) Painting by Bob

Bob's Art Majeur account has been managed since 2018 by his wife following the artist's death.

Presentation of the artist by himself in 2016:

"Of Auvergne origin, native of Brioude (Haute-Loire), I built my life
adult in the North that I adopted.
I have drawn since childhood. My oldest memory is astonishment
to see that I had been able to restore beauty with simple colored pencils
pansy flowers that the teacher had suggested to us as a model.
The painters that attract me are Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Le Douanier Rousseau,
Henri Rivière, Hokusai... Also comic book artists
such as Patrice Pellerin, François Bourgeon, Enki Bilal...
Painting brings me a sense of wonder at the power of the imagination: from
from an impression, from an idea that arises, to see a landscape, characters, animals. I love these moments of creation during which I am
a path without really knowing where it will lead me.
I am also happy to keep the memory in a drawing, a painting
stays in nature. Better than a photo, drawing allows me to penetrate the landscape
that I admire in its structure and its colors, I recreate it.
Despite my great age, I am still as enthusiastic about my sheet of paper as anything
throughout my life..."
