Jacques Ridereau
Born 1951 Vimoutiers, France. Studied architecture and art. During the 90's Jacques moved to Paris to devote his sole attention to painting. He frequently traveled the Normandy coast for inspiration. Jacques was approached by the 2010 FIFA World Cup committee to represent his motherland in a series of paintings incorporating South Africa and the Soccer Wold Cup. This gave Jacques the chance to visit SA which he loves and returns frequently.
