François Boisrond's Everyday Scenes
François Boisrond's painting is neither 'art brut' like Combas, nor 'comic strip' like Di Rosa, nor 'naive art' like Blanchard. Instead, it consists of vignettes of daily life. Characters such as the Michelin Man, Chouchou (his cat), or his wife move through ordinary settings where action is mostly limited to eating, reading, painting, sleeping, and watching TV—with a fresh simplicity akin to Éric Rohmer's films.
