André Boubounelle, Ronda,

André Boubounelle Ronda oil on canvas 81x130cm Contemporary painter born in 1962, in Celle-Saint-Cloud, André Boubounelle paints landscapes in the classical manner, at a time when practices often put aside the pictorial and the figurative. Whether they are bright or foggy, his landscapes are never animated and give off a delicate poetry, a harmonious melancholy. This gives a rare emotional intensity to his paintings: as if immersed, we walk in familiar landscapes of Burgundy, Ile de France, the sunny countryside under the snow, Vexin, northern Brittany and Tuscany. Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1983. Casa de Velázquez Prize, Institut de France, resident from 1991 to 1993. Wildenstein Foundation Prize in 1993, The departmental estate of Vallée-aux-Loup, La Maison de Chateaubriand in Chatenay-Malabry devoted a major exhibition to him in 2019, under the aegis of Marc Fumaroli (1932-2020), of the French Academy.
