fleche bleue Rougié Joël Artists List
 
Joel Rougie was born in 1957. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts in Angers and Paris, he studied at the Vocreschensky studio.
His style, rather impetuous at the beginning, gradually evolved towards a more delicate pallette and softer brush technique. Oil remains his main medium, applied with a combination of flat and textured brush strokes. Each detail and outline is carefully crafted into thin laces, ostentuous hair ondulations, a multitude of flamboyant motives emerging from exquisite fabrics and rich backgrounds with complex architectures and perspectives. The colors are brisk, further enhanced by the delicate yet dynamic texture. Light and contrasts are used to the extreme to create these beautiful and intriguing characters who defy reality.
