Until January 25, visitors can discover the paintings of Jean-Claude Egidio at the FAR room, rue du Général Sudre. The artist has tastefully and brilliantly painted what remains of the city’s megisseries past: the megisseries of the Saint-Jean district, the Voûtes or rue Marcel-Pagnol. His oil paintings and watercolors, done outdoors in the style of the Impressionists, depict old Graulhet, seen from the heritage trail, the footbridge or Chemin Saint-Roch. Since his childhood, Jean-Claude has devoted himself to painting. He briefly studied at the Beaux-Arts in Rouen before perfecting his techniques, exploring gouache, oil pastel, watercolor and oil painting. “At a time when technology is omnipresent, I feel the need to go out, get some fresh air and come face to face with my favorite subjects: architecture and nature. I don’t work from photos. ” His paintings, created during the mid-seasons over a period of five years, are on view until January 25 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Jean-Luc Alquier, president of the FAR, is pleased to have discovered and exhibited a painter who shows the city as its inhabitants are used to seeing it during their walks. “With its colors and lush vegetation, these paintings give the impression of eternal spring.”
