The work of the painter Jacques Guichebard spans more than thirty years, divided into relatively distinct periods: dreamlike realism, abstract expressionism, lyrical abstraction... However, his painting cannot be reduced to these school classifications, since it loudly and clearly asserts a frank freedom and is constantly renewing itself. At most, one can affirm with Anne Kerdraon that it “is music. Jazz. The rhythmic pulse of the musical tempo, incorporated, when painting leads to listening to free or soul music, is projected onto the canvas.” With a consummate art of processes, from covering to stencil, from collage to palimpsest, Guichebard’s art willingly sacrifices to the law of series while ultimately displaying its great coherence in the face of the world. Presented for the first time in a monograph rich in 200 paintings, sketches and drawings, it opens here to (re)readings of the creative fire. Jacques Guichebard was born in 1944 and pursued a career as a painter alongside that of a visual arts teacher at the University of Rennes 2 (portrait ©Christophe Rey).
