Nil bleu by Jean-Louis Bessède

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.
