PHILIPPE JACQUET
Philippe Jacquet is not simply a painter of landscapes; he is a creator. Jacquet has mastered the ability to combine what is real and what is imagined. As a result, his compositions, heavily inspired by Brittany coasts and estuaries, have an element of the sublime and register deeply within the subconscious.
Born in Paris in 1957, Jacquet was trained as an architect at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. After pursuing a career in architecture, he decided to dedicate himself solely to painting and has been doing so for the past six years. He is a completely self-taught painter, yet one can detect his background in architectural in work through his strong mastery of perspective and the illusion of three-dimensional space created in his work. Jacquet currently lives and works in Pantin, a suburb north of Paris, where he runs an exhibition hall.
