SUN SENTINEL & CHICAGO TRIBUNE on 09/10/2009
Former pharmacist discovers the chemistry of art
Peek into the Lighthouse Point garage of Jean Claude Boutrouille and it's like stepping into a studio. Walls and easels are stacked with paintings drying, canvases being primed or stored. Paint-covered saw horses support even more canvases, and every surface is encrusted in textured oil paint.
But Boutrouille is as new to the discipline as he is to Lighthouse Point. Born in Orleans, 50 minutes south of Paris, the pragmatic painter spent a productive career as a pharmacist in France, then Martinique. His soul, however, belonged to art — and his heart to America. He filled his house with original art by friends. He devoured books about famous artists. He studied their technique and their philosophies. In 1990, he moved to Charleston, S.C., and in 1998, he and wife Jacqueline, now a psychiatrist, became citizens.
Jacqueline worked as an addiction counselor and Boutrouille handled the billing and accounting for his wife's practice. He continued to buy and sell art, but it wasn't until the bombing of the World Trade Center that he became an artist himself — not just because he felt the pain, but because the event eviscerated the stock market and art market.
"I knew that was the end of collecting, and I decided to paint," he said. "And it was one way to understand what painters were really doing."
His quest for understanding has taken Boutrouille on some interesting journeys. Hanging in his living room is a self-portrait in black oil on canvas by Pablo Picasso as a young man. Hanging adjacent to it is Boutrouille's very credible version of himself in the same style. "It's a joke," he explains.
He gave paintings to friends, to relatives, to professional offices. Five years after he began painting, he finally started to be happy with the results. His friends also were impressed.
Chef Jean-Pierre Brehier's restaurant, The Left Bank, in Fort Lauderdale, was as famous for its art as its menu. Today, Brehier runs Chef Jean-Pierre Cooking School on Federal Highway. In his school are two of Boutrouille's paintings. "People are interested," he said. "They look nice."
In June 2008, Boutrouille discovered the Internet, and another world. "I've had 5,835 page hits in seven days. That's pretty good," he said. "I am an emerging artist. As a painter, I think I start to be good."
Others think so. Boutrouille in November will be one of four painters with 10 paintings on exhibit featured at Marziart International Gallery in Hamburg, Germany.
Still, he doesn't take himself too seriously. Among the 99 media listed on his website are neons, tattoos and furniture.
"I have decided to drink a lot, take drugs and die famous," he said. "Then the prices will go up."
