Biography
Urbain Huchet was born in Rennes April 28, 1930. After law school and a stint in the textile industry, in 1960 he devoted himself completely to painting already practiced amateur. Self-taught painter, he settled for three years in Pont-Aven in the footsteps of Gauguin and Emile Bernard, the latter much influence he painted many landscapes and characters typical of this region particularly involved.
His works are typified by a fluid and free gestural approach to both form and color, and they are immediately recognizable. He is adept at both painting on canvas and watercolor and is an accomplished lithographer. His subjects are diverse but are primarily a reflection on the landscape of the Brittany regions as he has profound love for the coast.
