Baptiste ROBERT, born 2000
Baptiste Robert is a painter originally from Saint-Brieuc, but spent his childhood in Lannion. At the age of 17, he went alone to Mexico for a year, where the country's culture led him to question his own origins. Following this trip, he rediscovered Breton culture by reading Anatole Le Braz's Légendes de la mort. He recently graduated from the Pivaut school in Nantes.
For Ar Seiz Avel, Baptiste Robert presents two original oils on canvas from his graduation project: Tad-Kozh, an illustrated book of some thirty pages, the text of which was written by Lola de la Monneraye and also presented at the auction.
The story is about a little boy who goes on vacation to visit his grandfather, whom he doesn't know. Their initially distant relationship improves as the evening progresses, and the next day, the grandson and his grandfather go for a walk along the coast, revealing many imaginary Breton landscapes. Influenced by the nature he observed during his childhood, and in particular the pink granite coast, the Romanesque chapels and calvaries found in the Trégor region and the myth of the Cité d'Ys, Baptiste Robert is also inspired by René Yves Creston and his illustrated book Kan Da Kornog, and more broadly by the Seiz Breur and other artists such as Pierre Toulhoat and Mathurin Méheut.
