MY APPROACH
After a long carreer spent overseas, I have dedicated myself to a hobby I had been impatient for so long to practice : painting. All along my travels, I took thousands of photographs with the idea to use them some day as a source for the subjects of my paintings to come. Some examples of this work are presented inside the galleries in this website.
At a certain point, an accidental encounter with an artist in Rennes opened a new horizon : the reproduction of works painted by Masters whom we both loved. This adventure started with Modigliani who seemed rather neglected at that time (fortunately, some recent exhibits have finally given him the place he deserves), and continued with the Impressionist movement, specially Berthe Morisot ( whose work was also the subject of a recent exhibit) and Caillebotte ( the rediscover of whom is still to come). I continue working on reproductions on a regular basis, as I consider this a useful though demanding training. The result of these efforts, and of those of my friend and partner Jonte Tychman, can be seen on my other website www.art-katroz.com which exclusively shows reproductions.
I at times also paint with the palette knife, which results in a very different range of paintings, bursting in bright colours and generous in thickness : some of them are also presented in the present galleries.
I am not painting on an "industrial" scale because I paint only for my pleasure. Nevertheless, as time goes on, the paintings are accumulating and that's the reason why I am presenting them here. These paintings are therefore available (with the exception of most of the portraits) to anyone who can benefit from them, including private individuals, businesses, hotels and restaurants, professional decorators, cinema and TV industry, libraries, schools, publishers, cultural centers, public and private exhibits and other special events.
