Jean-Pierre Desprez

The schoolboy Jean Pierre Desprez drew sailboats in his notebook. In the bay of Saint Malo, his dreams of long journeys around the world sailed on the horizon of the sea in shifting colors. His professional life as an applied science engineer did not dampen his dreams and his passion for sailboats. The exceptional variations of the colors of the sunset on the channel of the island of Chausey inspire him. But how to express this inspiration? Jean Pierre Desprez finds an answer in 2019 with epoxy resin. With this material, the possibilities for creation are endless. Her sailboat hulls and naval sculptures allow the artist to combine naval architecture and marine colors. This naval sculptor puts technical mastery at the service of the elegance of the lines and curves of sailboat hulls.
