Jean Godin [The Hill of Lyon] Oil painting No. 15 [framed]

He is a leading figure in contemporary French painting, with works housed in museums and municipalities, and numerous awards. As the masters of the 20th century fade, Godin's brilliance shines ever brighter. His elegant paintings are beloved in Europe, America, and the Middle East. Godin creates a delicate and poetic world that transcends everyday visions. In his fantastical world, fairies dance, and his poetic spirit radiates. Far removed from the geometric and rigid compositions of the Cubists, Godin harmoniously blends with nature to gracefully depict his fantasies.

Born in Angers, on the banks of the Loire River in France, in 1943. Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts d'Angers. Recipient of numerous awards, including the Société des Artistes Français Award. The Musée d'Art d'Aimé and other institutions house his works. Regular exhibitions are held in galleries across Europe and America, and in Japan, his works were exhibited at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store in 2012, and have since been handled by famous department stores.
