Vue sur la partie ouest de l'île des vivants (2025) Painting by Jems Cehes

Jems Cehes, a contemporary French painter born in 1987, has been practicing drawing and painting for over fifteen years, with a focus on the delicate line between the conscious and unconscious. Humanity lies at the heart of his work, where the individual serves as both the observer and the observed. For Cehes, art is a journey, an introspective stroll where certain explorations accidentally solidify on canvas. Embracing accident as a faithful tool, he sees himself as more of an explorer than a creator, uncovering hidden aspects of himself when they dare to emerge.

His work is driven by a central theme: relinquishing the grip of reason to become a spectator of his own creations, akin to a researcher delving into the unknown. Favoring the airbrush as his primary instrument, Cehes also employs brushes and spray cans to bring his visions to life. He views art as the most intimate of alibis, describing beauty as a powerful, unsolved mystery—one he witnesses and captures in his distinctive style.
