Biographie
Michel Testard, born in Tokyo (Japan) into a French artistic family, has been living in rich travel and cultural immersion in Europe, Africa and India. His art vividly captures a large range of themes from realistic landscapes, urban or rural scenes, portraits and interiors. Michel also ventures into fantasy with his dreamlike "room with a view" series from Goa, Kipling inspired jungles, weird and funny yogis, Indian musicians or cartoons of maharajas. His work, influenced by Masters like Matisse, Gauguin and Amrita Sher-Gill, is full of imagination, vibrant colors and spontaneity. Michel’s originality lies in his blend of East and West, reality and fantasy, past and present, creating a body of work that reflects his dedication to cultural exploration and the beauty of seeing the world through a wandering, reflective lens.

This Exhibition comes almost three years after Michel Testard’s last showing in India at Art Indus, Delhi in Feb 2020, and five years after his first show in India at Bikaner House, Delhi in May 2018.
Bhanwar Niwas Rampuria Haveli is proud to present this new show- ‘GLIMPSES OF INDIA II –which builds upon and expands on Michel Testard’s lasting fascination for India. As an artist, a writer, a traveler and a sitar player, Michel has taken to the Indian tradition of narrating his diverse experience as anecdotes, giving to an Indian audience a friendly view of their own country that they may not see that way, and to foreign travelers visions of India that go well beyond the tourist cliché. His paintings mix nostalgia, admiration, fantasy with touches of humor.
