ARTIST SHEET:

Philippe Garnier de La Baudinière is a French artist born in 1955. Originally from Blois, he moved to Paris to practice his first profession, decorator. Little by little, his frequentation of painters, museums and his meeting with Bernard Lorjou, leader of the Loire Valley School from 1973, formed the basis of his artistic culture. Freeing himself from all influences, constraints and theoretical ideas, the work of Philippe Garnier de La Baudinière is in the movement of geometric abstraction. The artist succeeds in giving an immediate understanding of his painting, in a frank relationship between form and color, creating a strong plastic work, based on the dialogue of chromatic masses. The different techniques that the painter uses, oil on canvas or relief such as monochromes on hard cardboard, meet his requirement for results. Philippe Garnier de La Baudinière participates in several exhibitions in Calais, Le Touquet, Paris, the Circé gallery in Lille, and the Château d'Hardelot. Some of his works can be seen at collectors' premises in Portugal, Monaco in the close circle of Prince Albert II, in the United States, Germany, etc. In 2018, the artist was chosen by the Jean-Michel Wilmotte architectural firm to participate in the restoration project of the Hôtel Lutetia in Paris. His series, Reliefs monochromes blancs, are in the spotlight, as well as multiples hung in many suites overlooking Boulevard Raspail. The artist was selected in 2018 by the Bollinger holding company for its château in Sancerre and recently by Atelier27Paris for the Claridge Hotel in London. A final order has just been placed with the artist by Atelier27 Paris for the Royal Mansour palace in Casablanca. An exhibition took place from August 12 to 27, 2023 at Place des Lices in Saint Tropez
