philippe jacquet/artist

i visited the axelle fine arts gallery on newbury street a few months ago and found this amazing painter.













Born in Paris in 1957, Jacquet was trained as an architect at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. After pursuing a career in architecture, he decided to dedicate himself solely to painting and has been doing so for the past six years. He is a completely self-taught painter, yet one can detect his background in architectural in work through his strong mastery of perspective and the illusion of three-dimensional space created in his work. Jacquet currently lives and works in Pantin, a suburb north of Paris, where he runs an exhibition hall.
