Charles Perron celebrates form, light and quiet beauty in his still life painting, Roses au Vase de Verre. The soft glow of three full blooms set in a simple glass vase emerges from a darkened backdrop with atmospheric depth and subtle tonal control. Perron’s precision and refined brushwork reflect his background in French realist painting, transforming everyday subjects into a study of grace, texture and fleeting natural splendour.
Perron's depictions of rural French life, be they an intimate cottage scene, a delicate still life or a beguiling nude, demonstrate a faultless technique and highly developed technical skills. They bring a sense of calm and joy to the viewer. Perron had a complete mastery of shape and of delicate hues, a wonderful sense of design and an expert command of his medium, reminiscent of the 18th Century French master Jean-Baptiste Chardin.
Perron's paintings drew acclaim from art connoisseurs and the French establishment who awarded him many honours; of these the Gold Medal at the Salon in 1928 stands out. No collection is complete without a painting by this most talented of artists, so thought the curators of the museums at Rennes, Nantes, Cambrai, St. Nazaire, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, to name but a few, and we wholeheartedly agree with this rationale.
