Nil bleu

Jean-Louis Bessède’s art explores a variety of subjects:

• Anonymous figures and mythical characters in the history of art
• Primitive and cosmogonic themes
• Depictions of animals
• His style combines elements of graphic design, primitivism and a bold use of colour.

These elements are rendered using a complex mixed-media technique that combines various materials and processes, lending his works a quality that is both primal and contemporary, rooted in the collective imagination yet deeply personal.
