About Jean-Marc Bustamante
Jean-Marc Bustamante was born in Toulouse, France in 1952. He lives and works in Paris. Bustamante’s first paintings based off of photographs marked the beginning of this medium in the art field. Bustamante experiments with a wide variety of media, creating innovative visual suggestions. He is very attached to how the eye views the work for a mental or even psychological perception of the world. The artist has borrowed vocabulary from the specifics of photography crossing the disciplines of sculpture, painting, where he now focuses his efforts. When strating a new painting he begins with a drawing, which acts as a stencil. This process is used for each one of his works. This is transformed and projected, the paint is dissolved in the color of the inks, on the surface of the transparent support that absorbs it. Bustamante represented France at the Venice Biennale in 2003 and participated in Documenta 8, 9, and 10.
