About

Jean-Philippe Collard’s version stands out for its fluidity and wonderful naturalness. He constantly renews his touch, first thinking of the Pictures at an exhibition... in their orchestral nature.

The artist never tries to do too much, painting each painting with imagination but sobriety, always concerned with balance.

Thanks to this sense of narration, Baba Yaga and the Great Gate of Kiev hit the nail on the head.

This overflowing energy recalls a certain Horowitz with whom Jean-Philippe Collard had forged a beautiful friendship in those crucial years when artistic maturity was forged.

Awards and reviews

March 2019

Collard shares with his erstwhile associate Vladimir Horowitz the gift for shaping Rachmaninov’s labyrinthine lines to three-dimensional effect while, at the same time, bringing an incisive edge to rapid passagework that casts the thick textures in a gaunt, acerbic light.
