Jean-Yves ANDRE, born 1955 Totem 2, Landunvez - 2019 Acrylic on polymer. Unique piece signed on the base. Height: 151 - Diameter: 15 cm - Base size: 30 x 30 cm --- Jean-Yves ANDRE, born 1955 A native of Plouescat, Jean-Yves André lives and works in Landunvez (Finistère), and has always felt at home in illustration and decoration. With this in mind, he decided to work with everyday materials. Influenced by the Seiz Breur, Pierre Toulhoat, Bigouden and Glazik motifs, but also by Australian Abori gene painting and Arabic calligraphy, he has worked in residence at Henriot in Quimper (2000 and 2013), created fabric decorations (particularly bath sheets) for Bouchara between 1996 and 2002 and designed illustrations for cards published by Jos de Châteaulin. He has also decorated buildings in the port of Brest for maritime festivals (1996, 2000, 2004). In addition to painting on wood, canvas or volume (columns) and drawing, he also expresses himself through engraving (etching, drypoint). As a stone enthusiast, he has produced several works (texts and drawings) on ancient crosses, megaliths and steles in Brittany. In addition to his involvement in contemporary Breton design, his creations are imbued with the Breton ornamental tradition, from the works of the Seiz Breur to the motifs on Bigouden costumes and Gavrinis engraved slabs. Ar Seiz Avel is a new opportunity to showcase his work in Rennes and introduce him to a new audience.
