Richard Boigeol

« Born in Provence on July 26th, 1959, Richard BOIGEOL took his first drawing lessons when he was seven years old. Later, he left for Italy to study Art History in Naple and Florence. He has become a marked « colorist » and is a follower of the « new figuration » and his artwork is nourished of his own intimate history and inner world but also of his belonging to a culture and to his time. It is no coincidence then if his work is in keeping with the one of Van Gogh especially when he dares revisiting the mythic sunflowers in their simplicity of a « bouquet de table » or in the « postal shoe » which is exhibited in the Art Museum of Romans (France). »
