First things first - French artist Guy Thomas (profile) has a new look to his website, it's great, easy to navigate and you get to see all of his most excellent Bearish artwork. As he states in his biography: "I've never stopped drawing what I love most: big, strong, full bodies, hairy with rough or smiling bearded faces. This is my way of thanking Mother Nature for all the grace and pleasure she brings us with Bears".

Now for the news: Guy has a new exhibition at the Station B in Lyon, France. It begins on November 22nd and will run right thru until January 18th. Looks like a great place for a showing.

Parisian artist Guy Thomas (website - profile) is going to be showcasing his excellent material in Madrid for the very first time. It will be at the Hot Bar from July 4th thru September 15th. The exhibition is called 'Bearroco' (flyer). Guy states that this is going to give him the opportunity to pay a tribute to the Golden Age Masters of Portrait as well to his favourite subject of painting Bears which he has been doing for 10 years professionally.

In other news ~ Guy, after many years drawing mostly in monochromatic, states that he is rediscovering the joy in doing oil painted portraits; "I enjoy the strength of oil colours, sometimes on a golden background - like the Middle Age icons, of course to represent Bear-Icon... in my way".

I remember when I first saw French artist Guy Thomas' (website) work in Beef Mag. I really loved the softness he was able to portray while drawing some really fantastic looking husky Bears.

Check out his galleries of artwork ~ some of the links are under construction yet be persistent because there's some real gems hidden among there.

Click here to learn a bit more about this fine artist. From his site: "You could say drawing the male figure and doing full body portrait –capturing the essence of a particular moment – has been at the center of my life and feelings! Yet, when I was young I was very attracted to the strange strength emanating from the old masters portraits. The intimacy of these tender moments expressed frankly and without guise was extremely powerful. This simple essence of life is what drove me to portraiture...

Since my teenage years, I've never stopped drawing what I love most: big, strong, full bodies; hairy with rough or smiling bearded faces. Sometimes with wild guys who loves this kind of man. This is my way of thanking Mother Nature for all the grace and pleasure she brings us with Bears".
