The Art of Jacques Resch
November 9th, 2008 Posted in Painting
Jacques Resch (1945 – ) is a French born artist who lives in Africa. He began painting as a child. At around three or four years of age, his mother entered his drawings in a contest where he won first prize. At seven years old, his mother enrolled him in art courses.
Resch enjoys being spontaneous with his work, because he thinks that errors show the feebleness of human nature. His work is also influenced by technology such as the television and internet which barrages people with images. In contradiction to such modern advances which cause the viewer to become passive, Resch’s work encourages the viewer to become active and to examine for themselves the problems that afflict the work today.
