JEAN DERVAL
Jean Derval is one of the major figures of post-war French ceramics and of the artistic revival of Vallauris. Settling in the region in the 1950s, he developed a distinctive visual language combining bold forms, vibrant colors and architectural compositions, creating numerous monumental works. Working closely within the artistic circle of Pablo Picasso, whom he encountered in Vallauris, Derval became part of the creative movement that established the town as one of the leading centers of modern ceramics. His work is distinguished by its remarkable freedom of form and rich decorative quality. Throughout his career, he explored the relationship between ceramics and architecture, producing large-scale murals and commissions for both public and private spaces. His work reflects the extraordinary creative energy of the Vallauris ceramic scene during the post-war period.
ROBERT COMBAS
Robert Combas (born 1957) is a French painter and one of the leading figures of the Figuration Libre movement, which emerged in France in the early 1980s. His vibrant and expressive works draw inspiration from comics, popular culture, music and everyday life, combining bold lines, vivid colors and a distinctive sense of humor. His energetic compositions often bring together fantastical characters, personal narratives and references to contemporary culture, reflecting his playful and irreverent approach to painting. Throughout his career, Combas has exhibited extensively in France and internationally, developing a highly recognizable visual language that reflects the freedom and energy of contemporary French painting. His work has played an important role in the renewal of figurative painting in France, establishing him as a major figure of the contemporary art scene.
