When one travels the picture rails where these recent paintings are exposed to, can not that be sensitive to the subtle light that emanates from all these and accentuates the obvious lyricism. It is that the artist is a master glaze .... Jean Godin is a colorist whose paintings justify the well-known adage: "When the color has its richness, the form acquires all its fullness."

Everything in this painting is serene and secret radiation, both in the landscapes of autumn

Jean Godin loves the Loire. But not the Loire drained in summer or in winter loaded. Loire basking in the autumnal light, a light that giving him the maximum intensity in the colors of his palette extracted and placed like a morning fog a little cottony on the water and a little sleepy sleepy just before the floods. La Chapelle des Jacobins: a unique setting for a painter who is equally so.

He drags his palette to the Saumur gray sky. He won up in Provence, in the scrubland or the roofs of St.Tropez. Jean Godin took the opportunity to push up walls that still seem responsible for the heat of the daylight. Before these walls still glowing, he scratches the canvas of vibrant details.

For one period to another remains in the work of Jean Godin constant, a thread, a character trait: he practices a painting of reflection. The mood does not seem pochade its done but rather the patient work of climate alchemist. At the same time, he "fluffs" a fyke graphics, it claw, defaces, tugs his drawing for networks whose dynamism behind the composition. In this, its romantic atmosphere does not express the sweetness of abandonment, a spleen, but to its proactive project firmly led. The "legato" of his bill is ultimately more referred to as dry point soft watercolor.
Jean Godin and his paint job do not let close as unwelcome varnish definitions. You have to walk to her not to hear his confidence, resonate, be charmed by his spells discrete, selected, precious ointment poured forth like a bit.
Joseph Fumet.

A very special work that goes beyond the vision, which will seek the sweetness and strangeness of an atmosphere that is more like a poetry that can release a place, which is an open window on the wonderful world of fairy tales and fairies. Jean Godin of the paintings out of their home to take their particularity which is that where one expects to hear recite a poem by Verlaine or Baudelaire. Better still if the worms that exist do not permit, their creation is contained in the canvas. For this, Jean Godin opened his first shot as a prompt to come through its beautiful landscape. The villages are in harmony with nature. The houses are pushed freely, apart from all constraints, where the desire of the inhabitants wanted them. Elsewhere a pond untamed shores lounging lazily among the meadows and orchards. Far, far away from the strict geometry of Cubism, and quite the opposite of them, Jean Godin has made all its fantasy nature. Gustav Mahler wrote the poem of the Earth, Jean Godin painted it.
