Meet Stephan Beauvais, a folk artist based in France!

His work is intuitive, expressive, and deeply rooted in the language of memory and emotion. In Red Duck, bold color, symbolic figures, and flowing lines come together to create a powerful reflection on family, resilience, and transformation.

Rather than allowing difficult memories to define the work, Stephan transforms them into a visual story about connection, healing, peace, and hope.

Come see “Red Duck” in person at Gallery on First. 🎨🦆
