La vie de baron renouard

What is your link with Asia?

I have participated in around fifteen exhibitions in Japan and China. Asia has helped me enormously in the construction of emptiness and the conception of Zen. My grandfather, Paul Renouard already had strong links with Japan. The National Museum of Tokyo possesses 200 of his prints and drawings. So, each time that I go to Japan, I present in the same exhibition my work and that of my grandfather.

....and with the french Brittany?

You'll notice in my canvases many aerial views as well as the ebb and flow of the sea in the bay at the Brignogan beach. My life can be found in my work, you can find all that has inspired me, all that has lived within me and that remains within me today.
