Claude Gaveau
(French, b. 1940)
The still life and nude compositions of internationally acclaimed artist Claude Gaveau invite the viewer into a simple yet decadent experience. By juxtaposing fluid, soft lines and smooth textures, sensual colors, and sharp, geometric forms, he creates elegant, romantic works. Gaveau’s paintings capture the essence of innocence and keep his representation of figures and objects apparent enough to appreciate their beauty and purpose, but abstracted in a way that leaves a trace of wonder.
Claude Gaveau was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, December 5, 1940. He followed in the footsteps of an artistic family. His grandfather was the creator of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris and his uncles were both painters and artisans. Gaveau recalls receiving painting lessons from his uncle at the age of five and that his interest never wavered from that moment. After attending the National Superior School of Les Beaux Arts in Paris, he had his first solo exhibition at the Angle Aigu in Paris. The art community appreciated his talents, which led to numerous solo exhibitions. He became internationally recognition by the early 1970s.
The sophisticated walls of Moroccan villages, the sentiment of Venetian canals, and Californian décor are all inspirations that play into Gaveau’s masterpieces. Art critics have compared his art to the grace of a symphony. Delicate and peaceful, Gaveau is a highly collectable artist whose works will stand the test of time.
