Jean-Samuel Halifi

Jean Samuel Halifi is a young French visual artist born in 1991. He plays with proportions and popular culture that he cherishes and deciphers through his work. He works on different media and is mainly interested in sculpture and painting. Sometimes man-sized toys and sometimes tiny human figures, his works question social norms.

He studied at Penninghen, School of Arts and met his partner Salomé Partouche at the Ateliers de Sèvres in 2012. Together, they created the Atelier de Paname in 2017. Determined to make the codes evolve, they establish a real breeding ground for Contemporary Art in the Paris region. Then, they set up the Biennale de Paname whose third edition will take place in October 2021. It is a whole approach for the development of contemporary creation, it is a free event accessible to all, where several artists from various disciplines and media are correlated.
