Art Brokerage: Through his pictorial expression, French artist Jean-François Larrieu is the direct descendant of the painters Paul Klee and Joan Miro, whose visual vocabulary is delectable in order to go beyond the real world and to attain the visual metamorphosis of a universe wherein mankind remains the chief subject of a poetical on-reality. Jean-François Larrieu superimposes forms, informed by a joyful multicolored architecture expressed through a vocabulary of multicultural, universal and personal signs and symbols. Through this pictorial language, his landscapes peopled with magical huts, figures and birds, he opens up a pathway towards known and unknown marvels, in which the imaginary is king. Besides being an accomplished painter, Jean-François Larrieu is President of the prestigious Salon d'Automne, a Salon that was in the past presided over by such important artists as Rodin, Renoir, Maillol, Hugues, Desvallières, Brayer.
