Thierry Faure, born in 1944 in Nevers, is a French artist who embodies the fusion between equestrian passion and artistic expression. A rider for 45 years, he participated in show jumping and eventing competitions, while being a riding school master from 1969 to 1977. His love for horses has never left him, and he continues to breed and work a few horses.
In 1977, influenced by an artistic atmosphere present in his family, Thierry Faure decided to take up his pen and brushes again, reconnecting with a passion that led him to his first exhibition in 1983. From 1985, painting became his main activity, a universe where he masterfully explored various mediums such as gouache on paper, oil on linen canvas, and ink on paper. His style, oscillating between expressionism, sketching and realism, reflects a unique sensitivity where each brushstroke seems to capture movement, emotion, and the moment.
Thierry Faure exhibits permanently in his Galerie-atelier de la Boulaye at the IFFS, as well as at the librairie galerie du Mole in Saint-Malo, at the galerie « Sable et Bruyères » in Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, and at the Galerie des Glaces in Nantes. He also collaborates with the Redmond Gallery in Naas, Cherrylanefine Art in Wicklow, Ireland, and the « Gallery Rolly Michaux Ltd » in Boston, USA, where he exhibited in 2007 and 2009. Thierry Faure's works are present in private collections in France, Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland, the United States, Canada and South Korea, testifying to the international impact of his work.
