More and more of you each year are waiting for Jean Arcelin's exhibition at Galerie 26, we understand and share your impatience, so we have taken a little head start...

The 2022 exhibition of recent works by Jean Arcelin will begin on April 8th !

Jean Arcelin has created a pictorial universe to his measure, or rather to his "excess": his insatiable quest for space and light is the key to his vibrant work which is based on rapid and spontaneous gestures, associated with risk taking. permanent both in the choice of subjects and their interpretation. Each painting is an imaginary, timeless journey, whose baroque accents intertwine with a disturbing modernity. Fulgurance of matter and light (David Gauduchon).

Baroque interiors, fantasized Italy, the immensity of the peaks, silent libraries, seafronts and oceanfront facades, Jean Arcelin once again transports us to landscapes that are both familiar and unknown.

I like to create the illusion of timeless places straight out of my imagination. A fantasy, a memory, a reading often mark the starting point of the painting explains the painter.

This exhibition will end on May 28th and as always, we will be seized by the energy, the mastery and the happiness of painting of Jean Arcelin!
