Biography

Born in Marines en Vexin in 1941, everything is beautiful in the eyes of the young artist who draws from the age of 14, sitting on the sidewalks of his village of Chars. A gifted and precocious artist, he exhibits from the age of 16 at the Salon d'Automne de l'Isle-Adam. He will exhibit throughout his life in many salons and galleries (Paris, Normandy, Brittany). He gradually finds success across the Atlantic from 1977 when two of his paintings are selected to participate in the New York Grand Prix. He will then exhibit in more than 11 art galleries, in Washington, Boston, Nashville, Burlington, Lancaster, London, Osaka, Shanghai, Melbourne, Moscow... Many prestigious awards punctuate his career including the silver medal of the Grand Prix Humanitaire de France in Saint Germain des Prés awarded by Madame Gauguin and Madame Jeanne Modigliani in 1978 to name but one. Since 1999, Lucien Gondret has been referenced in Bénézit (international dictionary of listed artists). A retrospective will be dedicated to him in 2019 at the gallery of the Château de Grouchy in Osny to celebrate his 60 years of painting.
