(Order of Arts and Letters) is an Order of France, established on 2 May 1957
by the Minister of Culture, and its supplementary status to the Ordre national
du Mérite was confirmed by President Charles de Gaulle in 1963. Its purpose
is the recognition of significant contributions to the arts, literature, or the
propagation of these fields.
Marc Rambeau was born in 1945 in France, he has studied painting in France
Le Tai Wo Estate School of Visual Arts and the National Arts and Crafts
School in Nice. From 1968 onwards Rambeau's work took him to the South
Pacific where he lived in New-Caledonia and Tahiti, and visited New-Zealand,
Chile,Vanuatu, until 1985 when he took up residence in Australia.Now he
spent half of his time in Australia Ainslie Cell Studio, which was found in the
center of Canberra, half in his atelier in France Provence.
As a travel artist, his art work relates to the places he went to and the views he
saw: South Pacific Islands, Australia, bush, Asian and European natural,
cultural landscape, figures and nudes. The forms of his paintings are creative
and varied, he makes excellent use of color combinations, collage and images
overlap. Between 1995 and 1996, Rambeau lived in Beijing for six months.
This trip to China marks a new era of Rambeau’s paintings, because at Beijing
he discovered the painting material: Chinese rice paper. After that, he has
widely used rice paper in his paintings. He uses paint and Chinese ink on rice
paper, his brush strokes and colors combine perfectly the tradition of Western
painting and the strength and appeal of Chinese calligraphy, it’s philosophical.
He puts rice paper affixed to linen of superior quality, to smooth rice paper,
then puts a layer of protective oil to make the color more vivid, but also to save
the rice paper to a more extended time. This creative method of painting is
extraordinary and unique in the world, even in the history of art world.
Rambeau's art work is free-spirited and unique, and it implies a simple style,
but with Chinese philosophy and western spirit.
Rambeau exhibits regularly in France, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong
Kong, Singapore, Noumea, Tahiti and other places. His collectors are all over
the world, including important art institutions, galleries, embassies, consulates,
private collectors and art lovers in the world. Since 2010, he exhibits in
mainland of China and gradually get to be known by Chinese collectors.
