Jean Wallis
France • 1938
Presentation
Jean Wallis is a French artist, born in 1938.
Jean Wallis's painting is marked with obvious lightness, joyfulness and innocence, he depicts these elements by representing venues for parties or get togethers. But through a discerning eye, one is able to understand that in these colorful and cheerful paintings, he portrays a cutting and a wounding image of our society.
In these impish and stylized but modern and out of sync paintings, Jean Wallis offers a trenchant and uncompromising analysis of the world, in which he evolves, though at a first glance his paintings are considered as naive and lively.
His work is part of several solo collections, all around the world.
