Prolific artist, painter, but also lithographer, illustrator, and sculptor, born January 25, 1933 in Boulogne -on Seine, Michel Jouenne is part of this breeding ground for talents from the “Young Painting of the Fifties”.

His works illustrate the life, the natural beauty of our planet through landscapes filled with colors.
Each of his paintings reveals the joy of his creation.
It amazes by its opaque and translucent materials at the same time, its large watercolor plans, and its luminous shimmers.

His talent has been rewarded in high places. In 1987, he was made Knight of Cultural and Artistic Merit, then Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1990. The following year, in 1991, he was appointed Official Painter of the Navy.

Michel Jouenne has also produced several paintings representing views of the Capital: The Eiffel Tower, The Sacré Coeur, Les grues à Paris, or Le Grand Palais.

Personal exhibitions are regularly organized in many cities, including: Paris, New York, Abidjan, Nouméa, Moscow, Tokyo, Seoul. His works have been exhibited permanently since 2009 on the 4 sites of the Galerie Estades, in Paris, Lyon, Toulon, and Baden-Baden (Germany).

Hervé Bazin, for whom he produced a few illustrations in his book “Qui j'oseaimer” (published in 1986 by Grasset) said of him: “Jouenne is a cantor of nature… Figurative, he is never a slave to subject he uses… ”

Since then he has never disappointed. He placed himself on the ground of Figurative Art.

All of its exhibitions bear witness to a creation that does not age. In each canvas, it is the joy of his creation of landscapes or seascapes: silent landscapes opposed to the roaring of the waves. (Guy Vignoht "Univers des Arts").
