JEAN BOGHOSSIAN

« Jean Boghossian’s work bears witness to our times, capturing the paradoxes that surround us: war and peace, wealth and poverty—all these divergences and stark contrasts that force themselves upon our eyes. How, then, can an artist convey these contradictions through mimetic language, the language of metaphor…

An artist can only bear witness to his era through the language of that era. Jean Boghossian’s language alone embodies this world of contradictions and contrasts, both creative and destructive: it is fire. Tamed and harnessed, fire becomes a creative force, breathes life into its own rules, redefines harmony, sculpts beauty, and establishes its colors. Fire produces and spreads what is most alive in art. »
