Jean Saucisse is my pseudonym since the days I published my work and opinions in zines. I chose it in reference to the Hanswurst, a figure close to the harlequin and popular counter-culture ; one who doesn't deny a part of reality but represents it to the point of grotesqueness. In my art you'll find the psychedelia of nightmares, the liminal monstruous,the luxurious beauty, some excess and black humor, all with indifference to moralizing and social distinctions. I work mainly intuitively, in a direct flow, nourished by underground cultures (especially music), which leads to pieces often teeming with cryptic details and symbols. Lately, I've been concentrating on drawing and printmaking, although I still do gif animation and music from time to time, and I plan to return to large paintings in the future. Otherwise, I'm in my thirties, live in the countryside, do permaculture in my rent and dream of owning my own farm & workshop.
