Jean-Pierre Rossignol

Charles de Gaulle

Charles de Gaulle

Charles de Gaulle, French general and politician, was the first president of the French Fifth Republic from 1959 to 1969.

Using chisels with triangular cutting edges, the design is incised into a steel or copper plate. Thus, the motif is created in relief with its thick and thin lines and its precision of line .

There is no "repentance" . The artist must have absolute control of his gesture and the force of his pressure; his burin removes with each impulse a shaving of metal corresponding to the value of the line, whether thin or thicker.

The unique feature of the burin is that it collects the ink in the grooves of the lines . The entire plate is inked and then carefully wiped clean to ensure no ink remains on the flat surfaces. The dampened sheet of paper is placed on the plate and pressed firmly against it with a press. The ink transfers to the paper, which, due to its flexibility, is forced into the grooves .

We are home again and our little "Jurga" has found her spot. We are delighted with our acquisition and we are very happy to have it with us. We were very happy to meet you and exchanged together about the artist and her work. Thank you also for your warm welcome at the Europ'Art Gallery in Aigues Mortes.

We came across Jurga's work whilst travelling in France recently, but did not have time then to seriously consider our options. At home, I checked online as to what pieces were available. Your gallery was one of those which registered a hit. The website was nicely presented and easily navigable.

This is the best art gallery in Montpellier. The artists who exhibit there are excellent and one is captivated by the beauty of the sculptures and paintings. Very friendly openings take place there and we can just meet the artists.
