Jean-Luc Moerman

Born in 1967 in Brussels, he lives and works there. 

Jean-Luc Moerman's painting is defined as a painting of exhuberance, of expenditure, a calm but uninterrupted jubilation, an endless repetition that creates its own images, and an energetic investment that creates its own universe. His painting seems to generate itself, as if from within, in an intertwining of organic waves to spread into the physical and psychic space of the viewer.

Passionate about tattooing and ethnopsychiatry as well as graffiti and utopia, he sees his work as a relay between the world of the interior and the exterior: "What interests me too is the idea of inter-construction: humans build objects, fetishes, supports that summon spirits, divinities, and these humans are constructed by these ways of doing. This is the way I see my work: I construct a work, but I am somewhat constructed by it. By my practice. "(Extract from an interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist)
