Jean-Paul Nonat – Artiste-peintre

“Searching for an original drawing technique (and before the emergence of social networks like Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook), I turned to pointillism, inspired by painters of the same movement, in order to find a compromise between engraving, which I still admire, and early press photographs, whose antiquated quality appeals to me. After the city of Troyes and its half-timbered houses, I then focused on the Pays d’Othe, where I live and where my roots lie, before moving on to other places and other subjects: animals, portraits, nudes…” Jean-Paul Nonat
