Jean-Paul Jacquet

Passionate about contemporary art, I invite you to discover my creativity through my paintings and sculptures.

I am a plastic painter who produces generally monochrome paintings on cotton canvas mounted on a wooden frame. I use ultra-matt acrylics and the elastomer reliefs are affixed to the canvas.

Indeed, the elastomers that I have been handling for over thirty years in my craft as a moulder-staffer also cover my sculptures, which is their particularity.

Black does not for me embody a negative color, a symbol of sadness, fear or even death. I highly esteem him for his elegance and sobriety. And like Pierre Soulages I consider that black lives because the reflections of the light give rise to a palette of colors and different tones and the painting evolves, "lives" throughout the day.
