Raymond Douillet - France

Art Brokerage: Raymond Douillet French Artist: b. 1947. Working at his studio in an old coaching inn among the fields of a French farm community, the artist creates works unparalleled in their quality and attention to detail. Viewers are often surprised to learn that the models who people the artist's canvases are not highly-paid models, but rather, common townsfolk, close friends, and most often family. Their poses are incorporated into the overall architectural framework of the pieces, or, as in the case of smaller works, their movements and expressions can become this framework. And while the true meaning of the finished work is left to the viewer to determine, Douillet frequently paints to show us parallels between verbal and physical expression, as well as commonalties between the English and French languages: a game we refer to as double entendre. Douillet has been a member of the Salon des Artistes Francais since 1975 and the Salon d Automne since 1978. His paintings grace a number of important corporate and private collections worldwide.
