A bit controversial, Tattooed from top to toe, he has been photographed in poses associated with art glories and rock legends. His art is either of him or of fantasies.
Relates to Theme: Slightly abstract view to the forgotten. Jean-Luc Verna plays with our souvenirs, search in the folds of our body and of our memory, up to the surface the ghost appears. With a subtle touch of free powder to fading smells, he flatters the soul, abolishes the limits and transposes the unreality into familiar visions."
Media: He draws on from high genre to the ordinary to engender hybrids and stage fabulous characters, bony fairies, super heroes, Siouxie, Niko and others. Flies, funeral wreath, skulls, candelabra, magic wand and stars are more then accessories.
Quote from his website:
Parce que "toutes les scènes doivent être rejouées", parce que plane la menace de la disparition, Verna travaille dans ses dessins sur "tous ces motifs qui appartiennent au chantier de l'art contemporain : faunes, fées, chanteuses, Satan et chimères, narration, poésie. Des maladies honteuses, que j'exhume, éclaire, farde, pour leur faire jouer une dernière scène. Même en train de mourir, ces choses disent toujours quelque chose sur l'humanité".
(Second one is him!)
