Jerome Btesh (1968) is a French artist born in the sixties and living in Paris, France. He uses waste material such as metal, glass, industrial pieces and transform them within a common point, the light working. [1] [2]
Since 2001, he has developed a world of "art prototypes" which he called "matrix" (in the typographic meaning) and "light box" (as a kind of clone or slave from the matrix). For its "matrix", it creates from a thick plate bent on a steel frame, etched by acid and then interpreted, as a case. In addition, one or more rollers molten glass let appears a photographic image, created exclusively for each work. Moving to or around this piece of art, a mirror can shows a reflected view of suspended metallic prints, composing a word, a sentence, an alliteration. [3]
His Light Boxes or "caissons lumineux" are made in square blocks or long metallic rectangular units in chrome steel or brushed stainless steel. Transparent and illuminated from the inside photographs [4] are enclosed, figuring the typographic reflection of its "matrix". [5]
About his artistic approach, he said: "My creation axis revolve around industrial techniques I turn from their functionality and profitability to put at the service of liberty and free (of charge) - it serves no purpose in appearance - and thus, materialize a philosophical theme". He get involved with other international artists causes, including for the ephemeral movement "greedy bastards" to complain about the excesses of the Jérôme Kerviel affair, in February 2011. [6]
Introducing himself as a "citizen of the world", he exhibited in 16 countries, [7] [8] [9] he participated in several collective artists movements, [10] especially around humanist values [11] and criticism. [12] [13] [14] In 2012, a documentary was dedicated to him, directed by Scotto Production in the "Gueules d'art" ("Faces of Art") series. [15]
