Born in 1994, a graduate of the Beaux-Arts
de Paris, Louis Jacquot creates formal and poetic paintings halfway between
rough conceptualisation and pictorial looseness. Working between two artistic
traditions – the one of modern abstract painting and the one of writing in
space and the spatialisation of artworks –, Jacquot swerves in constant
back-and-forths between the production of paintings and their installation in
the exhibition space, and shows that the supposed autonomy of the artwork in
the exhibition space is irrelevant.
According to Louis Verret, “The totality
and the integrity of the image’s cycle of production are questioned and
slightly challenged to offer alternatives. This complete rereading makes for
experimental gestures and freshness, the sidestep that gives amplitude.”
