From the fragrance of the garrigue, one drifts slowly towardsthat impalpable lightness of things that attests that his paintingsare about felicity.Triolet Exhibition - April 1st through April 30thA grey-blue background, a hand and brush that paint. A line is drawn, forms appear. In several minutes, a landscape of Provence emerges on the canvas. And the painting had the effect of an antidote. If you are depressed or melancholy, settle yourself in front of this armful of colors. Your eyes light up, a smile comes to your lips, your soul finds serenity.Painting is to Triolet what rhetoric is to a public defender: an arsenal for eloquent expression. Between the Mediterranean and the Alpilles, he found the land whose beauty he has recreated for thirty years, the Provence “that laughs, that cries, that sings with the cicadas.”“I’ve always had Cezanne’s palette, I mean in the tones,” he explains. “For three decades, I’ve played with the nuances. There is a law in painting: one color is judged in regards to another color.”Each canvas of Triolet is a personal vision of Provence, a Provence of origins, quasi-immemorial, that he would like to see preserved from the ravages of industrialization and galloping urban growth. Nostalgia? No.  Only the love of nature and respect for an indentity. One cannot help but subscribe to this thought of Alauzen di Genova: “The painter in front of his stretched canvas reconstitutes the mental architecture that he transposes from nature - to render it more sensible to others.” Who would blame Triolet for magnifying or idealizing his Provence?The still-lifes and landscapes confirm his gifts of observation and his infatuations. What has changed, someone has said, are the softest colors. This is a new departure in his painting, yet not a repudiation of his previous criteria. And nothing allows us to judge this better than his recent productions or exhibitions. His art has the same coherence. Triolet has too much experience to ignore that painting is a profession, a double engagement of the eye and spirit. It is an art of perception as much as one of memory. If the French artist, ambassador for his country, is appreciated in Europe and overseas, it is because in the United States, in Japan, in Switzerland or in Canada, people like knowing that his painting is more about what it contains than what it shows. His paintbrush reconciles you with the real treasures of life. He is a painter of felicity. ...read more

Her love of Provence will be embraced in your heart! Jordan Exhibition - March 1st through March 31st    The Jordan piece above was recently featured in Texas Home&Living; featuring our client's home in Austin. Interior Designer David Fuller with Alyson Jon Interiors utilized this piece as their inspiration for the client's living room.   In the living room a groin vault was created to draw the eye up. Bookcases David took from Mr. White's office sit in front of closed alcoves. David says, "We did not want the built-in look in the living room. Furniture has much more of a richness and texture." The inspiration for the room is a colorful landscape painting by Lorraine Jordan that hangs above the fireplace. With a cinnamon and chartreuse color scheme, "All houses must have humor," David says, which is what he loves about the color combination. "You tell a client you are going to do chartreuse with copper welting over cinnamon ultra suede [sofas], most people would go, ‘Oh geez, I don't know if I can do that', but she said yes.  It was an immediate yes. It was the variety of color."    Through a vivid and melodious pallet, with symphonies of pinks, reds and yellows, Lorraine Jordan paints the subjects and the landscapes of southern Provence with a remarkable simplicity and subtlety.  Her paintings ring true because they portray, with love, the harmony of her living environment in its setting of luxuriant nature where the olives and cypresses stand guard over the vines, living symbolsof the Mediterranean sun.   Much like Paul Gauguin, whose work she admires, her paintings rely on simple color surfaces.   It is her use of brilliant, luminous colors, however, that captures the single beauty of her surroundings and adds richness to her paintings. Seattle Art Galleries - R E Welch Gallery ...read more

Dubreil's work was recently exhibited at the Vasarely Foundation in Aix-en-Provence in connection with a Picasso retrospective. We see hesitant figures moving in imaginary spaces, mixing with each other and connecting in a fluid space. Neither abstract or figurative, Dubreil's work is a world in motion, frozen in colors and texture. Dubreil has matured and modified his pictoral expression over the years and has recently brought into his studio the inspiration of his love of Jazz. A universal harmony emerges from his work. These are works of distinction which never impose on the viewer or even the subject. He is an artist who makes no concession. No tricks are allowed. Art at its purest.

Upon entering and strolling through the spectacular R E Welch Gallery on Palm Desert’s art-rich shopping boulevard, El Paseo, one of the things you will eventually notice is a colorful brochure that, on close inspection, reveals two of the reasons for the dramatic success the gallery has enjoyed after just one season. The cover of the brochure prominently quotes French philosopher Gilles Deleuze: “Civilization is defi ned by three things…science, philosophy and art. Art is the only one you can own or acquire.” The quote reflects, says Ron Welch, the passion for collecting that he and partner David Roberts developed long before opening their gallery in September 2005. “We were deeply involved in collecting for 15 years before it ever occurred to us to follow our passion into the gallery business,” says Welch, who with Roberts owned a Michigan cable television company they sold to Comcast three years ago. “I think that helps explain one of the reasons why we were able to quickly create a personal rapport with our patrons.” Another explanation is inside the brochure, where photographs and text describe a charitable event the gallery hosted just months after opening for Shelter From The Storm, the non-profit agency serving victims of domestic violence across the Coachella Valley, raising more than $10,000. Welch continues, “This is one of the most charitable areas in the nation, and we recognized that many desert art collectors also share our passion for giving back to the community. We believe as they do that it is the right thing to do. So we made it our mission to link the gallery, our artists and our patrons with local non-profits who need support.” Little did Welch and Roberts realize another desert phenomenon would soon ensue from their philosophy of giving: “We’ve never been to more black-tie events in our lives,” he notes with a wry smile. Building personal and charitable bridges to the community was an important component of what Welch describes as “an amazing 2005-2006 season,” but he says the ultimate criteria was the acceptance of artists represented by the gallery. While certainly an eclectic group by genre, there is a noticeable emphasis on European art at R E Welch. Italian, French and Belgian artists are prominent in the gallery, including sculptor Jean-Louis Corby and landscape artist Lorraine Jordan, both French and the best selling artists of last season. Says Welch, “European art just has a different vibe, and we think our international flavor sets us apart.” Looking ahead to 2006-2007, the partners promise a similarly exciting season, with signature charitable events and still more of the ingredients of R E Welch’s winning approach—which prompts Welch to reveal another indication of their success: “We will be opening our second gallery in Seattle later this year.” R E Welch Gallery, 73-680 El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA 92260  760.341.8141R E Welch Gallery, 1214 1st Ave, Seattle, WA 98101  206.264.8141 www.rewelch.com ...read more
