Jacques Le Nantec was born on December 28th, 1940, in Nantes.
A listing of private exhibits would be of no use in trying to illustrate Jacques Le Nantec's unusual journey...
Brilliant higher studies and precocious beginnings: At only 16, a first solo exhibit showcases the already quite impressive amount of work realized by the Artist over a period of three years.
He then decides to take it slow, aiming to gain some skills first, he combines a self-taught solid classical training at the same time that he enrolls in Architecture.
From age 30 on, he gets involved in a range of professions as to get around the official trade of the Art business, while his creative search balances between abstract and figurative. It is still a long road before he ends up in Asia where he sets up his workshops and then his bronze foundery.
When Le Nantec reaches the age of 50, he reveals his anthology of barbarian princesses, odalisques and amazons that sprung up from heavy drapes beautifully slashed that seem to play with gravity. And that's without counting on his ample collection of studies after models, created all over the world, that act as a love declaration to the female beauty. Pioneer of the 21st century Art, Le Nantec brings an esthetic, sensual and dream-like feeling, without any artifice for the sake only of true talent and for the pleasure of amateurs worldwide.
Jacques Le Nantec is exhibited permananetly in Paris, 26, place des Vosges.
