"I am drawn to Asian culture, which reflects through its simplicity, the strength of an image in a symbolic context. My pursuit of the aesthetic reunites me with my roots: the sea, a generating force of shapes and transparencies. My brush converses with the canvas in my workshop, and I enjoy the presence of paintings which are in the process of drying. I look at the rust <trophies> and the palettes of pigment, which take me to far-off places: Russian Blue, China Red, Bengali Pink, Neapolitan Yellow, Veronese Green¡.This is effervescence of my creativity."
by Henri Gueguen
¡°The man is engaging, and he paints for others and the pleasure of the exchange
The craftsman himself is not without substance;
He himself creates his own material and colors;
He works non-stop.
The artist is superb, and one can only be seduced by the movement, the composition, and the harmony of his paintings.
If indeed <woman is the future of man>, then Henri Gueguen is a man with a future.¡±

¡°In Henri¡¯s current work, he would like to express his homage to female stars of the world including the British Icon, as well as the fields of cinema, haute couture and music. His art combines his particularity of elongated women with the image of prestigious personality. According to Henri, it is because Woman is the future of Man. Henri Gu¨¦guen creates his own paint with natural pigments, which give a living and vivid aspect to his paintings. In appreciation of Asian Culture, Henri offers us a wide range of stylish women with his art.¡±
