diafoirus (2007) Sculpture by Jean-Yves Verne

Jean-Yves Verne is a contemporary French painter and sculptor.

After attending various academy workshops for around twenty years (Ecole Supérieure d'Arts Visuels de Genève, Ferney Voltaire's free workshop), he alternates techniques in 2 or 3 dimensions depending on the purpose of the moment, in a cluttered workshop of a thousand things that combine, the rule of the game being play..

His resolutely classical style figurative works have as their favorite theme the enigmatic human condition. They depict solitary and meditative characters (paintings) or social interactions between individuals overwhelmed by the absurdity of their situation. Sculptures and art installations are then tenderly ironic and play on the immutable tragic comedy.
