The French artist Claude Hemeret was born on May 23, 1929. After classical studies at the lycée du Parc Imperial in Nice, he started at the l'Ecole National des Arts Décoratifs. In 1952 Hemeret started his career as an illustrator and collaborated with several interior magazines. Not until 1966, he devoted his life to post impressionist painting and exhibited at Galerie Rosenberg in Paris the following year. He was soon contacted by Galeries d'Art. Thus, his international success started with around 40 exhibitions in the period 1975-2001 in Cannes, New York, Florida, Tokyo, Brussels, Luxembourg, Hamburg, California and Singapore. His last major exhibitions were in the Opera Gallery in Singapore in 2001 and in Galerie Cimaise d'Or in Luxembourg and Galerie Robin Léadouze in Paris that same year. 20th-21st century Art, Abstract Art Movement, Expressionist Art, landscape painter, lithographer, still life painter.
Hemeret is romantic in its expression. The motifs revolve around traditional landscapes and elegant still life in dough pastel colors that slide over to each other. Flowers often return, as the main motif of the image or as a foreground to reinforce the distance between distant fields and the near. Claude Hemeret is a French contemporary artist, whose paintings seem to reflect the life he leads, rythmed by nature. His still life works are extremely popular. Born in Nice in 1929, thanks to his childhood spended in the sun, Hemeret grew fondling southern lights and scents fed him and quenched his thirst. His canvases recall the lavender’s perfume, cypresses, and the blazing Sun at noon. Hemeret cultivates love and friendship with a talent and an art, which have nothing to envy to his pictorial genius. Though, no portrait on his pictures, no person, evens a hazy figure. As to people, Hemeret prefers to have them near him. less
