The artwork of Jean-Philippe Paumier (1980) is both simple and complex. One distinctive aspect of his art is the choice for simplicity and economy in means, which applies to his choice of medium, the size of his works, and the concept of his pictures. In the process of creating, Paumier concentrates on objects, shapes and textures.

Influenced by both surrealism and minimalism, Paumier’s work is often disturbing or unexpected because of its strangeness or indecision: it has to seduce and at the same time confront the viewer.

Paumier’s work frequently quotes or refers to contemporary mainstream culture: most elements and themes are therefore easily recognizable. Paumier likes to mix several elements in order to give rise to new mental associations.
