Jean-Jez

Jean-Jez is a contemporary artist whose work traverses the boundaries between visual art, performance, and installation. Born in 1987 in Marseille, France, Jean-Jez developed a passion for painting and mixed media during their early years, later pursuing formal studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Over the past decade, Jean-Jez has become known for evocative explorations of identity, memory, and social landscapes, often channeling vibrant color palettes and experimental textures.

Their practice is deeply informed by both personal narrative and broader cultural currents, weaving together elements of abstraction and figuration in ways that challenge conventional interpretation. Jean-Jez’s art has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Europe and North America, including prominent showings at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Tate Exchange in London. In addition to their gallery work, Jean-Jez collaborates with local communities on large-scale murals and public art projects, aiming to foster dialogue and collective reflection through creative engagement.

Their ever-evolving body of work continues to push the conversation around personal and collective transformation in the contemporary art world.
