Jean Guichard first encountered the force of the high seas during his National Service with the French Navy in 1970 when he discovered the inspirational coastlines of the great north, Newfoundland, Iceland, Greenland and the Baltic Sea, which later influenced his art, prints and posters.
Memories of his family in Brittany inspired Jean Guichard to research into the lives of the forgotten lighthouse keepers who risk life and limb to guide ships through the treacherous coastal waters. This research also influenced his art, prints and posters.
The awe-inspiring power of the sea and the fortitude of both lighthouse and keeper are consummately captured in Jean Guichard's astounding art, prints and posters.
