LA NUIT OÙ J’AI DÉCROCHÉ CE FRUIT

VERNISSAGE LE 08/11/2026 15h - 18h

Jean-Marie Brecht est né en Belgique en 1963. Il peint depuis qu’il a sept ans, d’abord en recopiant les tableaux anciens puis a aiguisé son propre regard, fantasmagorique, et toujours un peu moqueur. En allant chez lui, on comprends que son amour du collage ne se limite pas à son travail, c’est partout dans sa vie. Des bouts d’histoires éparpillées sur les meubles, dans les tiroirs, les grelots des rideaux. Il a commencé à nous sortir les toiles qu’il avait faites ces dernières années. Il les a empilé les unes sur les autres jusqu’à ce qu’elles fassent une tour, assez grande pour que l’on n’arrive pas à prendre celle du dessus en photo. Cette pile sur sa table du salon c’était l’esthétique totale d’un joyeux bordel ; l’affirmation qu’il n’y a pas de limites claires entre la zone de la toile et tout le reste.

OPENING 08/11/2026 3PM to 6PM

Jean-Marie Brecht was born in Belgium in 1963. He has been painting since the age of seven, first by copying the works of the great masters, before gradually developing his own vision: eerie and always with a touch of mischief. Visiting his home, you quickly realise that his love of collage extends far beyond his artwork; it is woven into everyaspect of his life. Fragments of stories are scattered everywhere: across furniture, inside drawers, even among the littlebells hanging from the curtains. He began pulling out the paintings he had made over the past few years, stacking them one on top of another until theyformed a tower so tall that we could no longer photograph the canvas at the very top. That pile of paintings on his living-room table was the very essence of a joyful mess; an assertion that there are no clearboundaries between the canvas and everything that surrounds it.
