Patrick Jannin

Belfort, France
Artist (Drawing, Photography)
Born 1971

Patrick Jannin, born in 1971, gives us, through an abundant and protean body of work, a most disturbing vision of the world, or to use the Freudian expression, one of disturbing strangeness. This worshiper of beauty has over the years built a world apart, on the fringes of fashions and artistic currents, in which man, fallen and condemned since the dawn of time to perpetual hell, rubs shoulders - as if to no longer feel, if need be, its ugliness and baseness – creatures of startling beauty, women with animal heads or animals with dreamy bodies, goddesses straight out of ancient myths, who were said to be barbarians then condemned in order to to install in the heads of men a symbol of death and existential emptiness, a vengeful god, the lying god. As for the truth, with this painter, it is quite simply found, for those who only know how to open their eyes to the world around them, on the branch of the tree or under the thickets of an equatorial forest, under the form of the Deer or the Robin, the Hyena or the Zebra. So many animal-symbols, so many totems punctuating the existence of those who aspire to go higher, further and deeper, and all bearers of the same energy, all beautiful and luminous, even in their darkness and in their cruelty, for as Nature made them. So yes, this is how we can see Jannin's universe: a world with three entrances, where each medium (drawing, photography and painting) brings with it its own questions but also ultimately THE answer: beauty. Beauty as a quest, beauty as a bulwark against the inherent stupidity of men, beauty as a source of light, necessary for life itself.

Propos sur Le Lapin. Entretien fictif portant sur la série Lapin(e)s ainsi que sur certaines toiles.
Q : Le lapin, qui hante ton œuvre depuis quelques années déjà, qui est-il ?
Et puis surtout, pourquoi ?

R : Pourquoi faut-il se demander pourquoi ? Qu’est-ce que ça peut foutre ? Pourquoi on fait ce qu’on fait, pourquoi on pense ce qu’on pense, pourquoi cependant on fait rarement ce qu’on pense ? Ca ne m’intéresse pas. Je me moque des raisons pour lesquelles j’agis de telle ou telle façon. Toute cette prose pseudo littéraire aux accents psychanalytiques m’emmerde, car ça n’a pas de sens. Chacun est libre – je ne vois de toute façon pas comment ni de quel droit j’empêcherais le spectateur de penser ce qu’il veut et d’y aller de sa propre interprétation. Chaque individu dispose d’une grille au travers de laquelle il juge, analyse et « comprend » ce qui l’entoure. Et chacun d’appeler ça, SA réalité, SA vérité.

Q : Oui, mais alors : qui est-il ce damné rongeur aux oreilles en érection ?

R : Primo, tu l’as dit, c’est un rongeur, et comme tous ceux de sa race, ses dents poussent tout au long de sa vie, à l’instar de nos ongles et de nos cheveux. Ce qui fait que, s’il ne les use pas, elles finiront par être si longues qu’il en crèvera, incapable qu’il en sera devenu de se nourrir. Tu connais l’expression « se faire les dents » ? Ca a une connotation plutôt agressive en général. Et ce n’est pas dénué de sens.
Ensuite, d’un point de vue symbolique, on raconte dans certaines religions que le lapin serait un intermédiaire entre dieu et les hommes, ce qui lui évite de finir en civet. Mais pour d’autres, il a surtout cette sale réputation qu’on attribue à la Cigale dans les fables de La Fontaine. A savoir : un branleur, toujours prompte à faire la fête et à se taper sa voisine de clapier.
Maintenant, pour ce qui me concerne, je vais te dire ce qu’il est, au-delà de tout ce verbiage indigeste autant qu’inutile. Oui, inutile, car quand je peins ou dessine, je ne me dis pas : tiens, je vais mettre tel symbole pour induire telle ou telle pensée chez le spectateur. Mon but n’est pas de prendre les gens par la main pour les conduire à Katmandou ou au temple. Moi, je m’amuse. Et tout le reste, je m’en moque.
Donc : le Lapin est abject, méchant, fourbe, vindicatif, hypocrite, menteur, mythomane, machiste, obsédé, violent, méprisant, méprisable, immoral, puant et chiant .
Le Lapin ne t’aime pas. Le Lapin t’emmerde. Et sous pas mal de points de vue, Le Lapin te ressemble.
A ceci près que lui se fout de ton jugement, de ton avis, de ta morale, de tes hypocrisies.
Comme il se fout de tes attentes. Car il est libre. Dénué de respect, il n’en attend de quiconque.
En définitive, le Lapin ne devrait craindre de jugement que de Dieu, arguant qu’il n’a de compte à rendre qu’au Créateur et à Lui seul. Mais là aussi, il s’en fout !
Parce que Dieu, c’est LUI.
