François Gangémi, Le Petit Journal, mixed media , 93 x 105 cm, beautifully framed

Provenance: directly from the artist.

François Gangémi was born in the south of France, the region where warm light, the dark green, yellow and ochre of the landscape, the pleasant climate, the smell of spices and the atmosphere of savoir vivre form an almost natural habitat for a painter.

This certainly applies to François Gangémi, who hungrily fuses style and subjects, materials and colours, eroticism and nature in his paintings. This results in powerful and exuberant, atmospheric works. It is the Mediterranean feeling of intensely enjoying life that his paintings exude.

Gangémi is a painter of the grand gesture, the singer in the pub, the worshipper of women, the painting street musician, the hero of brothels. In short, he invites us into the world of Joie de Vivre: the Art of Enjoying Life.
