Born in 1991. He lives and works in Paris.<\/p>\n
Painter of miniatures and icons, Jean Claracq creates a dialogue between painting and the digital realm. His models, drawn from social networks such as Instagram and Grindr, interact in his paintings with numerous references to art history, in particular Northern European paintings of the 15th and 16th centuries. Attached to traditional techniques \u2013 through his use of oil painting on wood and his attention to details \u2013 the artist plays on different interpretations and depicts with accuracy our relationship to screens and solitude in the urban environment.<\/p>\n
