Jean-Marie
Jean-Marie makes digital visual art, sensorial performances, immersive installations, set design and a lot more. French, born in Germany, based in Antwerp, Belgium. Trained at the École Régionale des Beaux-Arts in Rennes, and working as an artist since 1992.
With a wide range of skills and interests (from stage painting to poetic sensorial installation, through scenography, sound or smell design, dramaturgy), Jean-Marie works for international theatre companies and artists collectives, and creates his own digital paintings, installations and performances that try to find the balance between the simple contemplation of nature and the human necessity of a profound look at it. His work has toured across festivals and theatres in Europe.
He was a founding member of INHEPI (the International Network for Human Encounters in Performances and Installations), a worldwide network of artists researching interaction and the creation of sensorial images in the performing arts.
He also created Inside Art, an intimate project to help poetry spread the way a virus does: quietly, from one reader to another.
