JEAN YVES BOISSE, was born in Loches (Touraine) in 1954.

JEAN YVES BOISSE has been painting for many years and follows his heart and paints and draws in the mood of his predecessors:  Jacob Van Es, Jan Davidsz de Heem, Peter Benoit, Peter Boel and many others. His classical still-life subjects are often simple, rustic, everyday items.  Some include ancient pottery and others are personal choices that have some meaning.  He enjoys the solitude of painting still-life and is absorbed by the light, which is cast on his subjects.  The artist demonstrates the timeless beauty in the basic simple themes that are found in his paintings.  He very clearly continues the uncomplicated subjects that remind us of life in a different century, when the world moved at a very different pace.

Yves has very much placed himself among the finest of the few artists who dedicate themselves to this very time consuming and classical style, which is greatly admired yet is so rarely found among today’s contemporary artists.
