Born
in Fécamp, Normandy, his first links with nature
were inevitably determined by the sea, by flints on the
shore, and by the cliffs
Many years spent working with metals,
woods and plastics allowed him to explore the seductive
properties of materials.
Extensive travel and residence in India, Africa, and Central
and South América have contributed to his central
defintion of the vital bond between man and the earth.
In 1986
he joined a group in Paris dedicated to theory and pratice
in the plastic arts.
Since
1991, Jacques Selle has exhibited in Paris, Normandy,
Savoy and Geneva.
Among his themes have been : metamorphoses, earths from
others places, the lights and colours of the Chilean island
of Chiloe, seascapes, blue spaces, the Gulf of the St.
Lawrence river and Japanese compositions.
1999 saw the establishing of a studio/worhshop in Normandy,
in a 17th Century setting in Pont l’Evêque,
a historic town on the highway linking Caen with Deauville
and Honfleur.
In 2002 the town of Pont l’Evêque hosted "The
Journey", a ten-year restrospective exhibition of
his painting. |
