Françoise Jatteau

Françoise Jatteau : the artist at home in her gallery
She maintains a permanent exhibition of her work in water colours and Icons in her 'atelier' at the heart of the escargot or circulade at Aigne. Françoise presents herself as follows :

"As a watercolour artist, I pursue my own way alone, outside any trend or fashion. This lone walk is not an existential obstacle but a tool of recognition, so seeing is no longer understanding but ...... recalling.

I like stone, earth and water. I wish each painting to be unique and full of joy. I can execute them only with their echoing both former and future times.

So I address myself to Man, who throughout his daily experiences, maintains alive the Memory within his heart. I wish to be the child of the Morrow.

And to bear witness to the history of sacred art, I was taught by the Spanish Master Paco Franco who revealed to me the traditional secrets XII century Byzantine art of Icon painting using mineral pigments and gold leaf.

Watercolours and icons are on permanent display in my workshop, at my home in the medieval village of Aigne, F34210."
