"Jean-Pierre Cassigneul : Carnets intimes"
On the occasion of Jean-Pierre Cassigneul’s 90th birthday, Galerie Taménaga unveils an exceptional exhibition celebrating the artist, whose singular universe has endured through the decades with unwavering sensitivity and grace. Entitled Carnets Intimes, the exhibition invites visitors on a contemplative journey through the painter’s memories, tracing over sixty years of a deeply personal exploration of beauty, poised delicately between reality and imagination.
Bringing together more than forty paintings — from the 1960s to the present day — the exhibition reveals a body of work shaped by the pursuit of a serene, almost suspended world. Enclosed gardens, opulent bouquets, sun-drenched houses, tranquil lakesides and languid summer shores compose an intimate, near-secret geography that Cassigneul traverses tirelessly. His landscapes, often untouched by the clamour of the world, evoke sanctuaries for the soul.
At the very heart of this oeuvre are women. The women of Cassigneul imbued with quiet grace and timeless elegance. Through their recurring presence, they lend his work its most poignant depth. Tall figures crowned with hats, wrapped in silks of muted sheen, they appear to emerge from another era, from a realm gently out of reach. Their thoughts drift afar, across inner waters that painting can only ever graze.
Through this exhibition, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul is revealed in all his facets: painter of beauty, poet of colour, chronicler of a steadfast dream. With undiminished delicacy, he continues his silent dialogue with the world. A world he gently whispers to us through each canvas, far from the noise, where beauty remains, both fragile and sovereign.

The gallery
Founded in 1969 in Tokyo, Galerie Taménaga quickly established itself as a key figure in the art world, expanding its influence with additional spaces in Osaka, Paris, and Kyoto. As the first Japanese gallery to exhibit on great European masters, Galerie Taménaga continues to showcase masterpieces of Impressionism and Modernism to this day. At the same time, the gallery plays a pivotal role in supporting contemporary Japanese artists, while also revealing promising international talents.
