From TEICH , cartoonist
|
|
|
to TEICHERT, painter
|
|
|
Gerard Teichert was born in Antibes, France, in 1940.
After a stint in archeology, he created a comic strip relating the struggles and tribulations of its two characters: Mothball and Minibus.
Published from 1967 to 1981 under the pseudonym TEICH, his comic strip appeared in newspapers and magazines including Punch, Figaro Dimanche, Cosmopolitan, l'Expansion, le Midi libre and Charlie.
In 1982, he gave up Mothball and Minibus to paint full time.

His paintings are figurative, narrative and always provocative. He is known for his acid humor and child-like spontaneity......
|
|
In the beginning, Teichert viewed his work as a form of psycho-analysis. His paintings represented his inner world, angst and desires. He requested the privileges a fiction writer enjoys: the right to speak of himself. By painting his fantasies, he hoped to reach the human, the universal. Nowadays Teichert's paintings express his views of daily life and worldly events
in a manner that ranges from bitter to tender. A famous musician said, "Teichert's brush is like a razor's edge".
