Florence and the discovery of the works of Pierre Bonnard at the Pompidou center in Paris gave rise to a tenacious passion in him. Painting will become the great Business of his life. With other artists, he created an association, the Dinosart workshop/gallery, which aims to be a part of the art world. both a workplace for painters and a real laboratory of experiences and exchanges with courses offered at different times. all audiences.

Teacher of visual arts since 1985, Jean-Louis Garcin became over the yearsvisual artist, colorist and decorator.

For around thirty years, his works have featured landscapes that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. The artist’s hand is light and offers a sensual immersion in the material. The limits between sky and earth, day and night disappear, transgressing the very image of the landscape to touch our senses. It’s also a journey into color to which we are invited, an abundance, an irruption of generous hues, of nuances which come together so that the color be as precise as a musical score whose purpose is is to rediscover the very essence of painting: a primal act generating emotions.

The artist’s canvases allow us to contemplate nature in a different way. fantasy tower, wild or damaged. The vision of the paintings acts on our intimate memory, bringing back memories of a tree or a grove once observed in front of us. the opportunity for a walk. The intervention of the human hand is always emphasized in a discreet and subdued manner.

Recently, Jean-Louis Garcin has introduced into this sublime nature magnificent geishas whose bodies cannot be seen. He can imagine himself draped in resplendentkimonos or dresses in bright colors. Jean-Louis Garcin invites us here to; celebrate the beauty of nature eternal in this timeless quest: reconciling man, nature and beauty. These works always offer us a disconnection with the present time for a serene stroll in the heart of a long time conducive to a careful discovery of the paintings. Everyone is then free to let their imagination wander.

Attracted through other forms of expression and the desire to take a new look at his creations, Jean-Louis Garcin gives to painting the opportunity to come out of herself. Videos, textiles mixing and assembling details of his works, original prints on canvas or fine art paper attest to this voluntary approach which leads to new proposals for paintings of the artist.
