Born in Paris in 1935, Cassigneul studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and held his first solo exhibition at Lucy Krogh Gallery at the age of 17. Since then, his work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe, Japan and the United States. In addition to his paintings, Cassigneul has created lithographs, murals, tapestry and stained glass window designs. He has been commissioned for works by  hotels and theaters and in 1993 the Bolshoi in Moscow commissioned sets and costumes for their  ballet “The badly guarded Daughter.” Cassigneul follows the tradition of the Nabi artists, Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard, through his use of flat colors and compressed spaces to portray quotidian subjects. The Fauve artist Kees van Dongen was also a great source of inspiration for Cassigneul, most readily observed in the elongated and contoured female forms imbued with vibrant, expressive colors. In Cassigneul’s enigmatic imagery, the figures are frozen in time. His subjects remain lost in contemplation, inviting the viewer into the serenity of their world.
