Jean BAILLY (born in 1940), Oil on panel, "Still Life with an Egg," 1980.

Jean Bailly is a French painter born in 1940 in Algiers, primarily associated with the movements of fantastic realism and figurative surrealism.
Originally a physical therapist, he chose to devote himself entirely to his art. He has developed a unique, poetic, and dreamlike body of work. Echoing the spirit of Lewis Carroll, his pictorial world features imaginary characters navigating unusual situations dictated by dreams. Jean Bailly’s great talent lies in his technical mastery (primarily in oil or acrylic), creating a striking contrast: objects, animals, and imaginary figures are painted with such attention to detail and such realism that they ultimately appear familiar and tangible to the viewer. His compositions are meticulously crafted, featuring numerous reimagined still lifes and a subtle exploration of the “object-human” concept.
His paintings regularly appear at auctions of contemporary and figurative art. He exhibits frequently at major Parisian art fairs as well as internationally (Germany, Japan, China, the United States, and Canada).
His works are included in several private and museum collections, such as the Wichita Museum in the United States.
This work, an oil on panel dating from 1980, depicts a still life featuring an egg.
