Patrice Giorda was born in Lyons in 1952. Spotted very early on, notably among tbe international selection at the XIIIe Paris Biennale in 1985, be has constantly made his personal mark as a painter in the classical sense. Although far removed from the avant-gardes that turn their backs on Painting, his figurative art nevertheless remains absolutely contemporary. His symbolic representation of man and nature goes beyond straightfonvard landscapes, scenes, portraits or still lifes. Reality is enriched by memory and the permanence of a quest described by Giorda as a "delving of one's being ". Making great format, spiritual and poetic demands, Patrice Giorda blends the real and the imaginary, the universel and the singular. He brings harmony where harmony should not be possible - between tbe blazing beauty of light and colour and the depths of shadow of solitude.
