” From vibrant transparency to deep shades, Antoine Chapon paintings are always a serene reflection of the caribbean atmosphere. “
Born in Bordeaux (France) in 1952, Antoine sailed to the West Indies in 1981 and settled on St Martin in the tiny village of Colombier. Since 1995 he works and lives in his picturesque home/studio overlooking the beautiful Cul de Sac Bay. Since the beginning of 2015, the studio-gallery in Cul de Sac is closed. Permanent exhibition of his art can be seen at Tropismes Art Gallery in the tiny village of GRAND CASE.
