Jean Michel Collell

Cut wire mesh

95cm x 122cm x 3cm

Unique piece

With his incredible sense of depth, Jm Collell manages to cut through the layers of mesh with a meticulous subtraction technique to create the portrait. His sculptures therefore include areas of high-density mesh alongside cut-out spaces that give them a tremendous sense of light. Many hours of work and a lot of patience are needed to cut each sheet of wire mesh to shape the portraits.

About the artist

Portrait

Jean Michel Collell

Inspired by cinema, photography, fashion and music, Jean Michel Collell is connected to today’s society and his contemporaries. His conceptual gathering of lattices of wire exude the eccentricity and empowerment of his time, illustrating the characters and personalities of his icons.

Born in France, Jm Collell explored various mediums such as mosaic, painting and sculpture.
More recently, inspired by the cross-hatching technique, Jean Michel turned to portraiture. But not just any kind of portrait: inspired by the technique of cross-hatching, the features of his characters are recreated with such precision that one can see a realistic photograph emerging from a distance. This new production, which requires a particular attention, reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the people appearing on his paintings.

The work requires special attention to the image so that the shapes and shadows form these monochromatic works.

His creations are similar to two-dimensional sculptures. Appropriating the multilayer lattice system, Jean Michel uses their network to create deeper shades in areas of concentration and, alternatively, a sense of light in the areas where the wires are retained.

This new production, which requires a particular attention, reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the people appearing on his paintings.
