Jean-Baptiste Janisset French, b. 1990
Jean-Baptiste Janisset (1990), is a French artist based in Marseille.
The works of Janisset conjures and intertwine complex narratives. The artist questions the writing of collective history and how conscious we are of it. Who do we pay tribute to? What should we commemorate? Which icons, for who and why? In this great horde of events, contexts inevitably impact the way we see collective history.
With his molds, the artist creates new objects, archival-sculptures of his ongoing research. Jean- Baptiste Janisset challenges the making of memory, monument and history. He immerses himself in the daily and spiritual life of places from Nantes to Libreville via Senegal, Italy, Algeria and Corsica. “I want to tell a story, a sort of syncretic awakening.”
A graduate of the School of Fine Arts in Nantes, he has already shown his work in Japan, Benin, Germany, Algeria, and has participated in Paris in prestigious events such as the Prix de la Fondation Emerige, the Salon Jeune Creation or the Salon de Montrouge. He recently exhibited as a solo show at Atelier Chiffonnier in Dijon, at Galerie Alain Gutharc (Paris) and as a group show at MRAC Sérignan curated by Charlotte Cosson & Emmanuelle Luciani.
