Replicart

Born in 1946 in Morocco, Georges Bettan of ReplicArt developed an early interest in art. With a school bag bursting with coloring pencils and sketching paper, Bettan first dreamt of being a cartoonist. Before long, his love of comic books evolved into a love of fine art—Diego Riviera, Paul Gaugin, Vincent Van Gogh, and the French Impressionists. As he aged and his life took shape, he continued to view the world through his creative lens and study the masters, but his life left little room for the serious pursuit of fine art. Obligations tampered his creative output, but his passion never ceased, and in 1996 he returned to painting. Since then, Bettan’s output has been considerable. Not just homage works and faithful reproductions, Bettan has amassed a body of original work that synthesizes all his years of deep study and observing into something unique.
