The surrealist painter Fran\u00e7ois Boucheix was born on January the 7th 1940 in Montcheneix in the heart of Auvergne Mounts.
A descendent of a line of landowners, from the Arvernes people, Fran\u00e7ois Boucheix was only fifteen years old when his father died. The young Fran\u00e7ois then had to work to feed his family. Pictorial art became an escape route for him, his antidote to gloominess. After an exhausting day’s work in hotel and restaurant business, F.Boucheix painted frantically in the evening in his little maid’s room, until late at night.<\/p>\n

But it was above all his hard work as a self-taught artist that led him to create.
\nF.Boucheix held his first exhibition in February 1960 in Tunisia and many others would follow in France and abroad.
\nIn 1968, Bernard Bella\u00efche, the Parisian art dealer at the Galerie de S\u00e8vres, astonished by his atypical career, signed an exclusive five-year contract with him.
\nF.Boucheix then exhibited regularly in this gallery alongside Madeleine Luka, Marie Laurencin, Salvador Dali etc… and Foujita’s paintings.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”1vw|1vw|1vw|1vw|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”2vw|2vw|2vw|2vw|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”3vw|3vw|3vw|3vw|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
In 1969, he met Princess Yasmine d’Ouezzan (1913-1997) who would become an excellent friend and support him for some thirty years.
F.Boucheix also met Suzanne Bertillon, the companion of the painter Foujita and friend of the sculptor Zadkine. She spent a few summers in the beginning of the 70s in painter F.Boucheix’s Residence in Royat.<\/p>\n
From the early 70s and for about twenty years, F.Boucheix painted relentlessly and exhibited in the most famous Parisian galleries on Avenue Matignon, Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9, Avenue Georges V and Champs-Elys\u00e9es.
For nine years, he was a guest at the Georges V palace in Paris, and permanently exhibited forty paintings that were renewed as the hotel’s prestigious clientele fell in love with them.
At the same time, F.Boucheix exhibited all over the world in Europe, Middle East, America and Asia.
During his youth, F.Boucheix also took part in competitions and received three gold medals.
In 1990, under the influence of C\u00e9sar, F.Boucheix tried his hand at sculpture, and bronze soon focused his attention with a hundred or so compositions, sold all over the world.
Finally, at the age of sixty-seven, F.Boucheix inaugurated his museum in one of the most beautiful spa resorts in the world: Vichy.
Today, more than three thousand paintings are dispersed among international collectors, not to mention sculptures, etchings and other derivative products (porcelains, silk scarves…).
And despite the passing years, Master F. Boucheix still feels the need to return to his workshop “so as not to let his brushes get too cold”.<\/p>\n
