Imprints, traces, memories. Henri Girard was born in Lesconil, Finistère, on 21 August 1936. He has been drawing and painting since the age of 11. A few classes at the Quimper School of Fine Arts shaped his vocation. Later, in Bordeaux, he moved in professional artistic circles and regularly exhibited his work at the Galerie du Fleuve. He deepened and enriched his knowledge through exploratory trips to Europe’s major museums, galleries and institutional venues. A tireless walker and a man who gathers inspiration from his surroundings, he believes that painting draws nourishment from everything and that an individual is shaped by a process of accumulation, the result of an infinite sum of experiences. He adds that he owes just as much to gathering porcini mushrooms, hunting for morels, and trout fishing – activities that sharpen the eye and teach patience and rigour to the hunter lying in wait that he is – as he does to the complementary, indispensable but more abstract reading of essays on art.
