Benjamin Jeanjean is a French visual artist based in the Bask country. Illustrator, plastic artist and tattoo artist, he enjoys combining the nonsensical with black humor and contradictions through his figurative and symbolic representations. He uses various techniques such as illustration, ceramic, installation or mural painting to make his art both personal and universal. A perfect medium for telling complex stories, his style is highly figurative, filled with personal references and expressive details. His work is steeped in symbols and poetry. Benjamin draws his inspiration from old engravings, new imagery, the irrational, human logic, and also mankind.
