Born in 1943 in Champagne sur Oise, France, Jean Claude Tron began to paint at the age of thirteen. At sixteen he started work, but his desire to paint was so strong that he continued his art studies through evening classes.
Despite fulfilling numerous commissions and holding exhibitions of his work at several prestigious galleries, Jean Claude did not begin to dedicate all his energies to painting until 1990. Since then he has seen his reputation grow steadily throughout Europe and the United States, where his work is in constant demand and his originals sell for commanding prices.
Jean Claude is passionate about the southern region of France, in particular Provence, and this remains his essential source of inspiration. The
extravagance of the colours in his palette betrays the influence of Fauvist
Expressionism, featuring brilliant yellow, deep azure blues, strong reds, shades of violet and just a touch of vivid green. His airy canvases are characterised by simplicity of form which represents the natural order of the countryside, while the thickly applied blocks of colour make the fields vibrate with light.
"I do not paint formal landscapes that represent a particular place which then binds us. I prefer a different world, a world that radiates warmth and happiness, leaving space to dream..."
