Come and see my latest artwork at the St Mary Magdalene Church in Woodstock.
My paintings are primarily figurative. I love capturing the textures and contours of the human body, and conveying the feelings and personality of each subject I portray.
There will also be a selection of original works and postcards available for sale. My larger paintings (up to 40 inches) are definitely worth experiencing in person!
My exhibition will be open for viewings for the entire duration of the North & West Oxfordshire phase of Artweeks - 4th to12th of May. The opening hours are 10am - 6pm (Sundays from 1pm; Wednesday from 11am). If you're unable to make it during those times just send me a message and I'd be happy to arrange a viewing at another time.
You can see more of my work at https://www.jpderosnay.com/ and at @jpderosnay on Instagram.
I look forward to seeing you!
Jean Pierre
Jean Pierre de Rosnay was born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, and has lived and worked in Oxford and Woodstock for several years. He is a self-taught artist, working mainly in oils.
Jean Pierre's paintings take their inspiration from the work of photographers, geek culture, urban sports, and his own imagination. Although his work can have a dreamlike (and, occasionally, a nightmarish) quality, his paintings often dwell on the very concrete beauty and potential of the human form.
He is equally at home working with a muted and restricted palette, with deep shadows, the rich tones of skin, earth, and sea, or in bright, vivid colours; these last combine with moments of physical action and exuberance to give his series of paintings depicting skateboarders particular vibrance and joie de vivre.
