Philippe GARNIER DE LA BAUDINIERE (1955) Holidays in the Touquet Polychrome relief 97 x 35 cm Philippe Garnier de la Baudinière is a French artist born in 1955. Originally from Blois, he moved to Paris to work as a decorator. Little by little, his frequent visits to painters and museums and his meeting with Bernard Lorjou, leader of the Val de Loire School from 1973, formed the basis of his artistic culture. Free of all influences, constraints and theoretical ideas, Philippe Garnier de la Baudinière's work is part of the geometric abstraction movement. In 2018, the artist was chosen by the architectural firm Jean Michel Wilmotte to take part in the restoration project for the Hotel Lutétia in Paris. His monochromes are featured, along with multiples hung in many of the suites overlooking Boulevard Raspail. In 2018, the artist was chosen by the Bollinger holding company for their château in the Sancerrois region, and more recently by Atelier27 Paris for the Claridge Hotel in London and the Royal Mansour in Casablanca. An exhibition of his work was held in August 2023 at Place des Lices in Saint Tropez.
