A guest of honor

This year, the guest of honor will be Gilles Lemarchand. Born in 1954 in Flers, this self-taught figurative painter lives in La Lande-Patry. He has been practicing his art since 1983.

It was by observing a painter in Montmartre that I was able to glimpse the possibilities offered by painting with a knife. Often on the subject, I look for light and I like to paint my region, marshes and water landscapes.

Gilles Lemarchand, painter

Member of the Virois arts, Gilles Lemarchand regularly exhibits his paintings in the various regional salons from Aigle to Granville via Lisieux, Gacé, Villedieu-les-Poêles, Domjean, Domfront, Lassay-les-Châteaux, Démouville, Caen and many more still others. Since 1989, he has won around fifty prizes in various fairs in the region including that of Domfront (François Hubert-Benoist Prize, now Charles-Léandre Prize in 2014; Young Audience Prize in 2015; Charles-Léandre Prize in 2020).
