Jean-Michel Leclerc, 2018
Winner of the grant for Emerging artists in printmaking, he works on memory, presence and the invisible through pictorial and sculptural artworks.
” First of all, I want to understand how an object, a simple substrate can be invested with a presence, contain it as much in the literal sense as in the figurative sense. What I try to capture is the essence, the imprint left by the living once it is no longer. ”
At Atelier Circulaire, Jean-Michel is mainly interested in photoetching. We will closely follow the evolution of his work and his research around the use of varied archival documents.
