His work has been exhibited at the Oniris gallery since 1992

Jean-Pierre Pincemin's artwork is often described as one of the greatest and most "surprising" of his generation. Since he entered the artistic scene in the mid-1960s, he privileges experience as a source of knowledge. 

Painters' theories can be summed up in five lines, no more. They just have to be consistent, that's all. The important thing is to know how you see and to show what you see. The painter is the one who sees differently, anything.

His work is often described as one of the greatest and "surprising" of his generation. Since his entry on the artistic scene in the mid-1960s, Jean-Pierre Pincemin has posed as an empiricist. From this period of rigorous experimentation, the beginning of minimalism in the United States, the beginnings of the Supports-Surfaces group in France in which he participated, he has kept the spirit of an openness to new possibilities in painting, the spirit of invention.

 

In March 2003, Jean-Pierre Pincemin exhibited for the seventh time at the Oniris gallery. He presented his studio work, a place for geometric or ornamental, Chinese or zebra, tree or clover, the canvases oppose and play with each other, far from the rigorism of abstraction and figurative mimetics.

 

"Representing is the purpose of painting. You have to organize responses to what you see," he said.
