Artist StatmentSelf-taught photographer Jean-Claude Bise developed his craft amid the vibrant artistic movements of the 1960s and 1970s, learning from painter, decorator and photographer friends. His work invites reflection on societal evolution and self-perception, balancing two key approaches: the exploration of everyday life and the precise construction of images through perspective, line, colour and framing. These essential elements shape his visual language, prompting viewers to question their surroundings and the changing world. Bise’s photography offers a thoughtful dialogue between observation and formal composition.
