Self taught artist, adopted son of the Creuse, Alain Forjan has a true passion for painting since he was a young boy. Practicing figurative art over many years he has been successful in the artistic circle of the celebrated valley of the Creuse.

Ever evolving in his research of materials and colours Alain stands out more and more among the Crozant painters by his technique, a veritable union between impressionism and contemporary art. With an energetic style, he paints with palette knife to obtain a dynamism generated by the tool, for the pleasure of working with oils which allows him to archieve the required effect. His method splashes the canvas with large brilliant and vigorous displays.

His work has apparent spontaneity of body movement; his touch shows a scrupulous organization born in the spirit of the artist to successfully manifest sumptuous harmonies on the canvas. Countryside, houses and also Jazz musicians in very distinctive colours offer the public a variety that is individual.

Alain Forjan refuses to place himself into any particular style but follows his own route which enriches the feeling of the times. In this way creating at each exhibition a new spectacle for the visitor.
Alain is also happy to carry out commission canvases upon request.
