He paints exclusively with watercolours and has a particular attraction for the seaside, from Barcelona to the beaches of the north where he comes from.


Capturing atmospheres and available lighting

Rémi Hamoir : artiste en résidence sur tara

Rémi Hamoir, après des études aux Arts Décoratifs de Paris, se consacre à la peinture. Il est désormais professeur à l’Ecole des Arts Décoratifs et à l’origine de l’exposition Tara réalisée par les élèves des Arts Déco : Le monde secret du plancton en 2014 à la Base Tara.

Rémi Hamoir

Very quickly, his desire to capture atmospheres and lights on the spot led him to the exclusive practice of watercolor. He has a particular attraction for the seaside, from Barcelona to the northern beaches where he is originally from. He exhibits mainly with two galleries: l’Escarpolette in Morbihan and Green Flowers Art in Boulogne Billancourt. The Escarpolette is linked to Tara‘s adventure since Jean Collet, gallery owner today with Michèle Dutreux, is the former captain of the Antartica.

It was through him that Rémi Hamoir met Etienne Bourgois. Tara‘s adventure followed. He embarked for a brief and intense period that took him from Dubrovnik to Athens in 2009. Rather clement weather enabled him to paint at any time,  capturing the atmospheric and light variations on the boat.
