Biography of Jean Pierre Dubord
Jean-Pierre
Dubord
was
born
in
Rouen
in
1949,
and
after
spending
years
in
the
French
Countryside,
he
returned
to
his
native
city
to
portray
the
surroundings
of
his
youth.
While
Rouen
is
a
favorite
subject
for
his
paintings,
he
often
depicts
Paris
,
the
Normandy
countryside,
the
beaches
of
Deauville
and
Houlgate,
the
Cliffs
of
Caux
and
Etretat
and
scenes
along
the
Seine
.
He
is
known
for
his
ability
to
capture
the
subtleties
of
light
and
color
unique
to
each
season.
In
1970,
he
had
his
first
exhibition
of
approximately
thirty
paintings
in
Rouen
,
a
show
which
was
highly
praised
by
art
critics.
In
addition
to
an
annual
show
in
Rouen
,
he
has
also
exhibited
in
Bourdeaux,
Le
Havre
,
La
Rochelle
,
Osaka
,
Quebec
and
in
the
major,
famous
salons
of
Paris
.
Dubord
has
his
own
original
approach
to
painting.
His
palette
is
rich
in
its
tones,
and
is
fresh
and
uplifting.
His
work
is
so
highly
regarded
that
he
is
the
recipient
of
numerous
prestigious
awards.
Dubord’s
canvases
reveal
his
own
intense
joy
of
life
and
his
love
of
the
rhythms
of
nature. Also they
are
distinguished
by
a
nuanced
use
of
color.
The
artist’s
mastery
of
his
secrets
of
imprisoning
light
on
canvas
and
the
very
delicate
poetic
strain
in
his
painting
may
be
traced
to
the
impressionist
masters,
but
it
bears
a
very
personal
touch
as
well.
One
critic
remarked
that
Dubord
is
guided
solely
by
his
heart
and
emotions.
