Jacques Pellegrin
Jacques Pellegrin was a painter from Aix, born in 1944 in the land of Cézanne.
An Aix native at heart, Aix was the city of his heart until the end of his life in 2021.
Born to parents who were painters and makers of traditional nativity figures, he won first prize in the City of Aix painting competition twice, at ages 8 and 11.
At age 22, he held his first exhibition there, featuring some sixty works that were highly acclaimed.His style initially resembled the classical tradition. Then the painter discovered Impressionism, which would influence him well into the 1970s.Jacques Pellegrin is a self-taught painter.
His relentless exploration led him to discover German Expressionism as well as Fauvism and its masters, Matisse and Chabaud.He developed a deep admiration for French Expressionism—particularly Van Gogh, followed by Derain, Marquet, and Von Dongen—as well as for the Provençal and Marseillais schools, represented by artists such as Verdilhan and Ambrogiani.
An epicurean, Jacques Pellegrin perfectly captures the Provençal atmosphere and way of life through paintings that may evoke Art Deco.Sometimes caustic, sometimes caricatural, he takes risks, even at the risk of occasionally shocking the puritanical.All his artistic passions are accompanied by a genuine love of life, celebration, and people.
As for colors, of course, his palette ranges from warm shades of blue and gray to bold, vibrant tones accented by a black outline.
His painting, at once tender and human, tells a story, an anecdote, or a memory, through his favorite themes: daily life, the Provençal countryside, the city, ports, interiors, women, cafés, cabarets, and their musicians...Firmly rooted in his time, when Jacques Pellegrin evokes the past, he does so without nostalgia, but simply with affection.
He exhibited regularly throughout his career in his region and presented his works around the world:Sweden, Germany, China, Hong Kong, Miami, Dubai, Casablanca, Marrakech....
He is recognized and listed in the 1999 and 2006 editions of Benezit
