"Day to day" drawings by Georges LEMOINE​

 Georges Lemoine, Rouennais of origin, was born in 1935.  After studying at the Rabat Art school in Morocco he completed his apprenticeship with  Marcel Jacno (typographe), and then later with Etienne Delessert at the time of the creation of the department of children's illustration at Gallimard Editions in Paris . For Gallimard, he produced the illustrations for the first edition of the series "Folio Junior" 
His delicate and sensitive drawings have accompanied many  of the great French authors of the 20th century; Le Clézio, Michel Tournier, Marguerite Yourcenar and Andersen to name but a few. 
Georges Lemoine,  a well know illustrator in France,  participated in the budding movement and subsequent rise of youth  literature. 
He is known for his poetic and sensitive   pencil drawings and his subtle but luminous watercolours . In 1980 he was awarded the Prix Honoré in Paris for his  work as a graphic artist and illustrator and in 1991 he received the SGDL literary prize for children's books for his illustrations in " People of the sky" by  J.M.G. Le Clézio. He regularly exhibits his watercolours and drawings in art galleries around France.

After 5 years of consultation with the MSA (national health scheme for farmers) in 2010 he obtained acknowledgement  of a professional illness. Simultaneously he decides to press charges against Mosanto. In spite of two charges against them ( in 2012 an in 2015), the case continues and  Paul François will appear before the appeals court again.
In 2017, he decides to tell his story in a book " A Farmer Against Monsanto"  with Fayard Publishers.

" (Dunod, 2015)  with the climatologist Jean Jouzel, vice-chairman of GIEC. In 2017 GIEC  was awarded the prize "Science for All" by college students. His latest book looks at different alternatives to the existing production driven agricultural system and  is called " The Farm of 1000 Territories" (Chêne, 2017).

EXHIBITION

Julian FOSTER  "FROM THE GROUND UP"

​"Studying fine art sculpture at Newcastle University at Northumbria I set to work creating natural phenomenons. Such things as rainbows and clouds (nature has always been a source of inspiration for much of my work). There is a miraculous wonder in the natural world, all of which seems to be created without the slightest bit of effort. Within this world each layer has a beauty all of its own, and the detail is sublime. My work is a representation of these layers of detail and beauty, which provoke those feelings whilst witnessing its presence. Creating each piece by building up layers of photographic images and texture fused together with the encaustic wax treatment. I was very conscious of this process as to me it binds together the natural elements of beeswax and damar resin which stays true to being a completely natural medium. Through the wax these details are transformed and become faded and misty, building layer upon layer this creates a feeling of mystery and distance. A feeling I have come to love and cherish since moving to the wonderful surroundings of La Creuse."  Julian Voster
