« Inspire Every Artists of the World »  is real !

A beautiful Fresk was created by artist Tommy Knuts with FLASHE Lefranc-Bourgeois. It transmits our values : Joy – Daring – Transmission to make live Lefranc Bourgeois positionning : Dare to Paint !

The former basement is becoming « L’atelier » , a nice extra room to welcome workshops, colleagues, clients… Feel free to invite clients, artists to visit us !

Special Thanks to Marie Vincent for the management of the artist & fresk !

I want to share with you the pleasure I had to visit the beautiful Charbonnel boutique during a Parisian Tour.A spacious place, which smells good wood, a bright space, well stocked by our products including the sublime Flash paint. The shop is located in a privileged area overlooking the Notre Dame Cathedral, I was really seduced!I had the chance to meet the artist Tommy Knuts who was cheerfully dressing the walls of a room that will soon host workshops.

Thank you to the Lefranc Bourgeois team for taking the time to welcome me : Clemence, Marie, Hélène and Lorie.

Je veux vous partager le plaisir que j’ai eu à visiter la magnifique boutique Charbonnel lors d’une balade parisienne.Un endroit spacieux, qui sent bon le bois, un espace lumineux, bien achalandé par nos produits dont la sublime peinture Flash. La boutique est située dans un quartier privilégié avec vue sur la cathédrale Notre Dame, j’ai été véritablement séduite !J’ai eu la chance de rencontrer l’artiste Tommy Knuts qui était en train d’habiller gaiement les murs d’une pièce qui accueillera prochainement des ateliers.

Merci à l’équipe Lefranc Bourgeois d’avoir pris le temps de me recevoir : Clemence, Marie, Hélène et Lorie.

Opening of the Herman Braun Vega exhibition at FIAA in Le Mans on last Friday evening!

The works of this famous Peruvian artist, leaving in France since the 60’s,  will be presented to the public in Le Mans until the end of April 2023.

I had the chance to meet in 2012 this cultured, committed, warm artist, a figure of narrative figuration movement. I introduced him to the Colart factory, himself being a big user of our Liquitex colors, converting him in soft body viscosity while he was starting to look for Golden 🙂 

He then welcomed me with great kindness in his Arcueil studio, explaining his entire artistic journey to me, a real privilege!

It’s a chance to be able to discover his magnificent paintings thanks to FIAA (each painting are explained via a scan code)

Great to welcome some artists in the office today – Jimmy has been working hard these past few

months refining our North America education programme. A critical part of this is building out

the team of artists we collaborate with, we have recruited 9 new artists to join our team taking us to

22 in total.

These artists will represent either W&N or Liquitex delivering education, hands on

training, generating content, being our sounding board and helping us better connect within artists

communities.

The artists featured here will all work on Liquitex. Introducing left to right 

Cameron Barker, based in Brooklyn who has most recently taught at Yale, works as a painting studio assistant and creates beautiful graphite drawings in addition to printmaking, Jimmy of course, Veronica Herrera a professor at UC Denver whose abstract acrylic paintings evoke a bold energy and Sari Shryack, an acrylic painter in Austin, Texas. 

More to come on our newly refined education programme in the coming months.
