Joanne Boyer

Joanne Boyer, born in Versailles in 1990, is a contemporary French painter who lives and works in the Chartres region. Self-taught and part of a generation that is renewing figurative painting, he combines classical craftsmanship, mineral palettes and uncluttered settings to explore timeless themes rooted in our times. His paintings oscillate between introspection and reflection on the history of art, blending drama and the aesthetics of ruin. In 2024, he was awarded the Prix d'encouragement en peinture by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, an important recognition for emerging artists. His solo exhibitions include Un amour perdu at RX&SLAG in Paris and Les portraits d'âmes at Château de Bussy-Rabutin, and he takes part in group shows including Le jour des peintres at the Musée d'Orsay.
