Champus Gervais

 

Born 1963 in Paris. Works as an illustrator and artist in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
 
François Gervais recieved a DSATC in Visual Communication from the Ecole Superieure des Arts et Industries Graphiques in Paris. From there, he used his education to expand his art.  Romantic dreams dreamt up in François Gervais’s studio are translated, for instance, into the interior of a restaurant, the design for Fiat or a showroom for Canon. Most of his time, however, is devoted to his work as an artist, including a series of oil paintings with wine as subject; or a sculpture, created from flotsam and driftwood, for the city of Amsterdam. His work often shows his philosophy of  “Organic with lots of life and movement, positive images.”  Inspired by a variety of sources, such as Arabic calligraphy and Romanticism, François Gervais recreates the theatrical side of life.
