"Météo à la Carte" est née d'une réflexion sur notre désir croissant de contrôle, y compris sur des forces naturelles qui nous dépassent. Dans cette peinture, j'ai voulu représenter une scène à la fois absurde et poétique, où un homme assis attend patiemment qu'un nuage, suspendu par des fils comme une marionnette, déverse sa pluie dans un seau. Ce nuage volumineux est à la fois une promesse et une illusion. L'homme, minuscule face à ce nuage monumental symbolise la petitesse humaine face à la nature et notre prétention à en être les chefs d'orchestre. Les fils, tendus et réguliers suggèrent une tentative d'organisation, un système mis en place pour dompter l'aléatoire. Mais le nuage bien qu'attaché reste une entité vivante, imprévisible. Il peut pleuvoir...ou non.
Par cette image, j'interroge : que reste-t-il de la poésie du monde lorsque nous voulons tout programmer ? Peut-on vraiment demander à la nature de nous obéir "à la carte"?
Je parle ici de contrôle (ou de l'illusion du contrôle), de patience, d'absurdité et de notre rapport à l'invisible.

Jean-Paul Becker is a contemporary French artist deeply rooted in an artistic legacy, being the son and grandson of directors. His early exposure to photography, cinema, and advertising shaped his eclectic artistic journey, ultimately leading him to discover painting as his most personal mode of expression. Influenced by surrealism, Becker creates immersive worlds where humor, mischief, and sensitivity intertwine, revealing the paradoxes of society.

His creative process reflects a unique vision of the world, akin to the way he imagined stories and video clips before fully understanding the lyrics of the songs he listened to. This imaginative approach continues as he navigates the complexities of life, painting his interpretations of its inconsistencies and contradictions. Becker is particularly attuned to humanity's behavior toward the planet and our voracity, with his artwork serving as a projection of his emotional responses to these observations.

His paintings range from humorous to darker themes, but he consistently infuses a sense of humor into his work. Inspiration strikes him from various sources—a sound, a conversation, nature, or even a scent—igniting his creativity. Before beginning a piece, Becker sketches while visualizing colors, exclusively using the three primary hues—yellow, blue, and red—mixing them to achieve the desired shades.

Becker believes in leaving space for the viewer's imagination, appreciating that interpretations of his work may differ from his own. This diversity of perception is where the true sharing of art begins. Through painting, he expresses what he often finds difficult to articulate in words, inviting others to engage with his artistic vision.
