Alain Godon takes over the Museum of Le Touquet
From Sunday onwards, the museum of Le Touquet will only be showing Alain Godon’s paintings. One hundred and twenty to be precise. And they will be there for a month. Alain Godon is the embodiment of exuberance as a life style; an exuberance that bursts forth from his deceptively naïve paintings which are so full of life. It is not without reason that he has called his exhibition Extravangza. And what’s more, Alain Godon is a Touquettois, who avows an extraordinary attachment to his town; the town which witnessed his début and where he lives, when he is not in his studio in England or at an exhibition in Miami, or elsewhere. He has painted Le Touquet from every aspect: the town hall, the airport, the diving board and the old swimming pool and, of course, the rue Saint Jean. We can see all of these paintings re-assembled at the museum of Le Touquet and exhibited alongside more of his paintings of Paris and New York.
