About De Cluni Jean

Front 1990, I studied with Josep Castell, a French Catalan painter and famous sculptor ( la voute des mains, Deutschland ) 1990 -93 in private art school to learn painting restoration.( I know knoledges about conservation painting and differents materials no used by painters to perpetuate my works in a long time.) I have been a full-time visual artist for 25 years and I live in a small village in the famous Cathar country, Lesquerde. Developped over the many years of different practice, I am self taught with different artistic applications as abstract painter and illustrator. I worked in painting restoration for the great French museums during this period. I occupy my studio in London since 2016 to do classical landscape ( especially the city of london that I love ), since I practice too photography for 3 years now ) I work by series according to the influences of the moment : supernovae - inspired by Young British School ( Hirst ...) , abstract by french School : Support / surface ....and characters on abstract landscape ( the last serie ) but I practice the classic painting too as portrait ( persone, animal ,...) or landscape. My work is very slow because I wait for the dry materials between two layers an I come back on it until I like the result. I use all sizes large or small with various techniques, always with the aim of ensuring good conservation of the work.
