Guy Péqueux (18 June 1942 – 7 January 2021) was a French painter and lithographer.
Biography
Péqueux was born in Montmorillon during World War II. A poor student, he discovered painting while staying with his grandmother in Chaumont-Porcien. From 1960 to 1965, he exhibited his early paintings in Montparnasse and met Michel Kikoine, Pinchus Kremegne, and Lazare Volovick [fr]. He then showed exhibitions in Bar-le-Duc, Beaulieu-en-Argonne, and Nancy before starting a series of personal exhibitions in Troyes in 1966, where he befriended Paul Rebeyrolle.[citation needed]
Péqueux solidified his style of expressionism in trips to the Nordic countries, Russia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Africa, and Greece.[1] The blue colors in his works were typically seen as symbolism for the cold of Scandinavia, while the ochre and red were depicted from the heat of Jordan and the Sahara Desert.[2]
Péqueux died in Bréviandes on 7 January 2021 at the age of 78.[3]
