Jean Tierant (Joanny) was born in Paris in 1931. His father
was a master calligrapher and his mother worked as an architectural
designer. Their rich creative influences instilled in Joanny
a passion and talent for drawing. In his early teens, he headed
off to the stimulating environment of the Montmarte district
of Paris where Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir and Matisse once lived.
While in Paris, Joanny spent long afternoons in the studios
of artists and friends of his parents, where he studied their
techniques. They gave him brushes and canvases to use and encouraged
him to develop his career. These mentors recognized the talent
in one so young and were thrilled when he sold his first paintings
and began his profession as an artist. Around this time he adopted
the nom de plume “Joanny.”
Today, Joanny is an accomplished painter living in the Provence
region of southern France, where so many of the great impressionist
masters—Cezanne, Matisse, Monet and Van Gogh—captured
the extraordinary light and vivid colors of the unspoiled scenery.
Joanny is inspired by the same vibrant landscape, from its deep
lavender fields, olive groves and delicate almond blossoms to
its charming countryside, farms and homes.
Joanny is especially skilled in creating figurative compositions
using a rich palette to represent the emotional quality of the
landscape. Joanny’s ability to construct dimension through
color and shape invites the viewer to imagine walking into the
scene. He has forged over time a very personal style that gives
his landscapes an atmosphere of pure joy and exhilaration.
