Glossy finish

Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

In this painting, I wanted to express my vision of the modern world and the human condition through a surrealist scene that challenges and disturbs. I chose to show identical men, dressed in black suits, standing in a desert landscape under a blue sky. Their bodies are leaning forward and they all have their heads buried in the ground, their arms raised to the sky. This repetition of figures, all identical, is not a coincidence. It symbolizes, for me, the loss of individuality and the alienation of individuals in a society where conformism dominates. Through this scene, I wanted to criticize the tendency of our society to turn away from disturbing realities. Burying our heads in the ground is a way of showing how we turn a blind eye, how we sometimes refuse to face reality. The raised arms may seem absurd, but it is precisely this illogical gesture that translates the absurdity of our collective behavior. We often prefer the safety of ignorance to the discomfort of truth. Finally, as an artist inspired by surrealism, I explore here the depths of the unconscious. These characters with their heads in the ground are also a way of evoking repressed anxieties and fears, those that we refuse to confront in our daily lives. Through this disconcerting imagery, I invite the viewer to reflect on what we choose to ignore and the truths that we prefer not to see.

Jean-Paul Becker is a contemporary French artist deeply rooted in an artistic legacy, being the son and grandson of directors. His early exposure to photography, cinema, and advertising shaped his eclectic artistic journey, ultimately leading him to discover painting as his most personal mode of expression. Influenced by surrealism, Becker creates immersive worlds where humor, mischief, and sensitivity intertwine, revealing the paradoxes of society.

His creative process reflects a unique vision of the world, akin to the way he imagined stories and video clips before fully understanding the lyrics of the songs he listened to. This imaginative approach continues as he navigates the complexities of life, painting his interpretations of its inconsistencies and contradictions. Becker is particularly attuned to humanity's behavior toward the planet and our voracity, with his artwork serving as a projection of his emotional responses to these observations.

His paintings range from humorous to darker themes, but he consistently infuses a sense of humor into his work. Inspiration strikes him from various sources—a sound, a conversation, nature, or even a scent—igniting his creativity. Before beginning a piece, Becker sketches while visualizing colors, exclusively using the three primary hues—yellow, blue, and red—mixing them to achieve the desired shades.

Becker believes in leaving space for the viewer's imagination, appreciating that interpretations of his work may differ from his own. This diversity of perception is where the true sharing of art begins. Through painting, he expresses what he often finds difficult to articulate in words, inviting others to engage with his artistic vision.
