ARTIST BIO:
Emile Bellet was born in Provence, France in 1941. He began to paint at 5 years old and by the age of 19 he held his first exhibition in 1960. When he was only 12, Emile won first prize in a national art journal. In 1976, his career began in earnest when he was noticed by Galerie Guigne. Bellet completed the stained glass windows of the church "Notre Dame de Bon Voyage" (Our Lady of Happy Travels) in 1978, in Port de Bouc, France - a beautiful display of his talent. He was also commissioned by the Alpine Maritime Region to paint the work, "Travaux des Champs" (Work in the Fields).
Bellet is a self-taught artist who has aligned himself with the discipline of the Fauves (French for "wild beasts") -- a school of artists who lived at the turn of the 20th century that includes Matisse, Cezanne, Dufy, and Vlaminck. They painted in vivid non-authentic color and Emile has mastered this discipline with an impasto knife, using highly saturated colors to paint his elongated mannerist forms. Bellet loves his brushes and oil paints. When he began painting, there were no acrylics, and his love for his favorite tools increased.
