Paintings… and more paintings !

At ‘Bleu Émeraude’ (=Blue Emerald), we appreciate art and we like to share that love of art with our guests. And so we regularly change the works of art exhibited in our establishment.

The beginning of Automne will be printed by naïve art

In an effort to keep our regular customers happy, we think that it is useful to change the collections so that they can benefit from a greater variety of styles.  Currently, we have already welcomed three artists with different outlooks, who will be presenting their works in Caribbean colours. Their various canvasses are available to purchase.

The main ones represented are Antoine CHAPON and Shari ERICKSON.

As regards Antoine Chapon, his luminous and intense painting is a discerning expression of the colourful Caribbean atmosphere.
Born in Bordeaux, France, in 1952, he crossed the Atlantic in 1981 and settled in St Martin, in the tiny village of Colombier. Since 1995, he has lived and worked in his picturesque home/gallery, overlooking the magnificent Cul de Sac Bay.
In October 2006, Antoine was awarded the Prix d’Excellence at the 27^th edition of the “International Marine Art Exhibition” at the Mystic Museum, CT, USA.

In conclusion, we are going to turn our eyes to the American continent. Shari Erickson is an artist that received recognition very early on in her native city of Atlanta for her mural paintings. From a very early age, the main centre of interest for this artist lay in contemplating and analysing the human body. To this day, this interest remains at the heart of her talent, as does, at the same time, her experimentation with light and colour, which also pervades her work.
The Minister for Development for the American territories chose

Shari Erickson’s work to illustrate the “Virgin Islands National Park” publication. Shari Erickson exhibits her work in the South-eastern United States and in certain galleries in the Antilles Archipelago.
