Jochen Gerner
An artist, cartoonist and illustrator, Jochen Gerner is a member of OuBaPo. His work analyses language and image by twisting visual codes. Under a fun and exhilarating aspect, his approach contains a paradox of great plastic efficiency: by intervening in the initial forms, it reveals the architecture; apparently iconoclast, he dialogue with them to create an original work. The latter, true fluoroscopy, presents a new breakthrough in the research of the artist on the "infinite possibility of relationship between text and image", and the chemistry between text and visual.
He is the author of several books such as Panorama du froid (l’Association, 2013), Branchages (l’Association, 2009), Contre la Bande Dessinée (l’Association, 2008), TNT en Amérique (l’Ampoule, 2002). He also draws for the press (Le 1, Libération, le Monde, les Inrockuptibles, Télérama, The New York Times, Granta Books…).
His work was presented in solo exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts in Nancy, gallery Anne Barrault, Paris, the Art and History Museum, Bastia, Lux, Valence, the Children's Gallery of Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Museum of Modern Art, Luxembourg. His works were also shown in collective exhibitions at the Arab World Institute, Paris, Artothèque, Caen, …
