Jean Brisé

Jean Brisé, a contemporary French artist, boasts a remarkable artistic journey spanning nearly seven decades, marked by relentless exploration and creation - an inherent necessity for an artist over the course of a lifetime.

Born in Vienna in 1938, Jean Brisé exhibited an early affinity for the arts, commencing his artistic pursuits at the tender age of 7 at the municipal art school. By the age of 13, he was already engaged in the workshop group, producing his first cubist-inspired still life - a harbinger of his avant-garde inclinations. The inaugural showcase of his work occurred at the Spring Salon in Lyon in 1956, where a fortuitous mishap saw his canvas displayed upside down - a twist of fate he fondly regarded as a happy omen.

For four decades, Jean's painting style has embraced complete informality, free from predefined patterns or subjects. He approaches the canvas with an exploratory spirit, advancing, discovering, covering, and uncovering until the satisfaction of the moment is achieved. This process, marked by layers of creation and revision, reflects his ongoing dialogue with the evolving nature of his artistic expression.

Jean emphasizes the idea that it is the final addition, the last stroke, that defines a work of art. His creative evolution has been marked by shifts in direction, a testament to the organic growth of his artistic vision over time.

Above all, Jean Brisé is driven by a profound commitment to the spiritual pleasure experienced by the observer. Advocating for the viewer's aesthetic satisfaction, he believes that the true essence of his work lies in its ability to resonate emotionally and spiritually with those who engage with it.

Jean has also demonstrated a strong commitment to the art community, notably as the initiator of Cuiseaux pays des painters in 1971, and later, the pays de Vuillard and PUVIs de Chavannes for a decade.
