Georges Bru

George Bru was born in 1933. He spent his youth in Albi (south of France). He has been living in Toulon since 1976 where he was an art teacher until 1993.

Georges Bru is an artist, a craftsman of the imaginary. He is a master of the precision of the vagueness. He creates characters that are half and half woman whose moods are masked by a false neutrality. The painter seduces through his drawings, his aesthetics, his monstrosities. He makes us think of Dali, to this perfect lines, to this outrageous surrealism which is no other than the realism of our imagination.

Through his works, Bru lets us in his mysterious, sometimes unsettling world, where we can discover half men and half animals characters. His strange and unique works depict ghostly figures in dim light and foggy atmosphere.
