He paints without shame, in the manner of the expressionists, a derisory humanity that is sometimes pathetic but he often does it with humor. His characters often encounter animals, spirits, demons or gods. They are propelled into a situation where everything can change: either towards the deepest humanity or towards this animality present in each of us. jean-louis simonin is therefore always on the limit between the sayable and the unspeakable that haunts men. It then allows us to glimpse the unconscious, that which precedes all reason, all control. His subjects do not slip under the gaze, they stop it and question us about our own duality. The artist is also always at the limit of the visible and the invisible. jean-louis simonin obviously, like his friend the painter Alain-Michel BOUCHER, is influenced by the artists of the Cobra movement: CORNEILLE, Pierre ALECHENSKY, Jean Michel ATLAN, Asger JORN and Karel APPEL. It brings back to life this undisciplined and mocking inner child, gifted with overflowing energy that our rationalist civilization has buried deep within ourselves.Artist biography: Born in 1934 jean-louis simonin on the advice of his wife who noticed his talent, enrolled in the course of robert savary professor at the Fine Arts in Rouen in the 1970s.
