Lives & Works in Paris, France
Paris-based Jacques Brun has shown at Art Basel, Musée d'Elysée (Lausanne), Benaki Museum (Athens) and has been featured in publications such as Domino and Artforum. Brun constructs surreal still life scenes that blur the borders of the real and the imaginary, carefully choosing both the objects he photographs and arranging them to uncover unexpected relationships between the objects.
