Guy Dessapt
was born in 1938 and raised in the countryside of France. At a young age
he began to paint countryside village scenes and spent many of his early
years painting in the streets of Montmartre. Here he learned from many
of the great French painters of the time. He left home at an early age
and attended the Arts Decoratifs School of Paris and fell in love with
the city of Paris. From there Mr. Dessapt continued to live the quinticential
artists life and spent a great deal of time traveling throughout Europe
capturing the spirit of each place he would visit. In the 1960's he spent
seven years in New York and explored a variety of artistic techniques.
The technique that Mr. Dessapt developed is quite unique. It blends acrylics
and oils with texturing compound, creating rich surface texture and brilliant
colors in well balanced compositions. His paintings seem to shimmer with
specks of pure color, forming stunning reflections and somber shadows.
His pieces evoke strong,! seemingly romantic emotions difficult to explain
but nearly palpable. After having experience tremendous success in the
United States, Dessapt move back to the French countryside and lives in
the house his grandfather built. He is currently experiencing unparalleled
success in Asia, where he is considered one of the great artists from
the Paris School. He paints only one or two pieces a year at this time
and his art is becoming increasingly valuable and hard to come by . This
brilliantly talented quinticential artist will eventually be recognized
as one of the great artist of his time. |
