Thibaut De Reimpré French, b. 1949

Thibaut De Reimpré was born in Paris in 1949.

A former student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris (Yankel studio, 1968-1971), he has been exhibiting since 1974: over seventy solo shows to date.

Working mainly in acrylic on paper, his work is part of the Abstraction Lyrique movement.

He lives and works between Paris and the Sarthe.

Galerie des Tuiliers organized two solo exhibitions for him in 2007 and 2010.

“Reimpré's painting is a painting that loves and remembers. A work of memory, it viscerally refuses the chronic amnesia that some have gloried in. Reimpré remembers Rembrandt, Goya, Delacroix, Bazille, Van Gogh and Rouault. Just as he remembers the initial shock of the American lyrical abstracts, Rothko or Kline, followed later by Soulages. But he also remembers the new German Fauves of the '80s, with Baselitz in the lead. Perhaps because of a certain romantic temperament that is his true family. Far from being a weight that hinders him, this sponge-like quality of his painting densifies it, giving it depth, richness and substance.” Emmanuel Dayde
