Jean Michel Aucler Exhibition at Le BeaulieuExhibition at Le Beaulieu Restaurant April 1st to May 4th, 2010

About the exhibition « Soul of Thailand »

A photographer for many years, Jean-Michel Aucler now applies himself exclusively to painting.
His incurable passion and primary inspiration is Asia, particularly Thailand, His work displaying a balance between western and oriental traditions.
For his first exhibition in Bangkok, he created a series about Buddhas and the multiple ways to make offerings to the monks.
His canvases, with their large areas of colour, evoke through their powerful expressiveness, a certain primitive style. Whereas his lines on crumpled paper are by contrast, of a vibrant lightness, like a hesitation between the two worlds.

Jean-Michel Aucler is in love with life. His work is the true reflection of a dreamer, who never stops conjuring tricks with painting, colours and shapes. He is a conjurer of the soul.” Marie-Helene Grinfeder, art expert at Paris Drouot Auctions

About Jean-Michel Aucler: Jean-Michel Aucler lives and works in France.
He travels frequently to Asia, especially to Thailand and the island of Bali.
