Francois Ledan (best known by his nickname “Fanch”) was born in a small village in Brittany, France in 1949 and earned three bachelor’s degrees in mathematics, science, and philosophy by the age of nineteen in Paris. Ultimately, however, he discovered and was drawn to the city’s famed arts scene, and while a student at the Ecole Superieure des Sciences Commerciales in 1968 his artwork was accepted by several galleries and major European exhibitions, and he soon abandoned commercial design in favor of studying abstract painting. He traveled extensively, exploring art in various forms first across Europe, then Asia, and finally in America, where he enrolled in an MBS program at Sacramento State University in 1972 and spent the next twenty years in California working full-time as an artist. By the early 90s he was having yearly exhibitions in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Tel Aviv, gathering many collectors and admirers with his landscapes by blending realistic and surrealist elements together, and today his original paintings, lithographs, and serigraphs are in hundreds of private, public, and corporate collections all over the world.
