JADE FENU

Jade Fenu was born in 1976. He lives and works in Paris. Of Italian origin and self-taught, he devoted himself entirely to painting several years ago and has since taken part in exhibitions in France and abroad. He uses mixed media, mainly oils, acrylics, spray paint and collages of posters printed from his own close-up photos of various materials. His work blends improvisation and composition, allowing forms to emerge and begin their own narrative. Then comes a moment when he short-circuits this spontaneity, using a range of “processes” on the canvas: disfiguring, sanding, scratching, bombing or even erasing, tearing, covering, etc. Throughout the composition, the artist seeks to reconcile a form of expression initially devoid of any prior characterisation with a much more personal intentionality.
