René Charles Guilbaud, curator at the Hotel Goüin received this Friday, September 21, 2018 the Tourangeaux on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition "George Baylouni".
Painter of Syrian origin George Baylouni is in residence at the Hotel Goüin, a mansion built in the 15th century located along the banks of the Loire. A visual artist of memory, his pictorial work celebrates the universe of symbols and archetypes. His paintings are for the layman a hieroglyph whose deciphering remains complex. For the initiate, his pictorial writing reveals many messages thanks to the presence of cabalistic signs, pictograms and symbols that abound in paintings that resemble frescoes. George Baylouni is part of the tradition of great thinkers, philosophers and scholars whose work illuminates the roads of humanity.
His painting is composed as a palimpsest, rich in layers and pictorial intertexts.
