About the Item

Jean Vignes is a master mosaic artist with more than thirty years of experience, known for his deep understanding of materials such as marble, granite, glass, glass slabs, metals, titanium and gold. He has worked for UNESCO, restoring mosaics in Greece, Italy, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Spain and France, and has created numerous commissioned works throughout the world, including North America, Mexico, Japan, Australia and Europe. Some of his most remarkable achievements include: Major works for Gianni Versace’s mansion in Miami, where he lived for a year and a half to execute large-scale mosaics (pages 8–9). Apocalypse (550 × 300 cm) The mosaic “Apocalypse” is a monumental work measuring 550 × 300 cm, shown in the booklet with a full view and a close-up detail (page 5). The piece highlights Jean Vignes’ technical mastery: extremely precise work on color gradation, curves, and dynamic movement, particularly in the swirling blue areas evoking the sea or an energetic flow. The close-up reveals the exceptional finesse of the tesserae cutting and the control of transitions. This work is emblematic of his artistic style—large-scale, expressive, symbolically charged, and executed with demanding, fully hand-crafted techniques. Architectural and interior works: patios, floors, living spaces, bathrooms, and decorative panels (page 6). His artistic approach is defined by high aesthetic standards: working flat, precise craftsmanship, and the use of durable, authentic materials. He positions himself as a true artist rather than a simple craftsman or restorer (page 4). Throughout his career, he has worked in many countries — Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Mexico, Japan — following a tradition of “compagnonnage,” going wherever the work takes him. He now lives in France on the barge Aviso in Avignon

Large Mosaic Self Portrait
By Kim Frohsin
Located in Burlingame, CA
Experimental photographic work by Kim Frohsin, who is often associated with the Bay Area Figurative movement, began exhibiting in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1990s, and in 1993 was included with Nathan Olivera, Manuel Neri and Stephen De Staebler in an exhibit of "Four Figures from the Bay." With Wayne Thiebaud as the juror, she won the California Society of Printmakers' Award in 1996, and the following year exhibited at the de Young Museum in San Francisco in "Bay Area Art: The Morgan Flagg Collection." Frohsin is a multidisciplinary visual artist, who is at home with painting, drawing, monoprintIng, and mixed media. Her subjects include the female figure as well as mundane ''objects" and series — including ‘Cautionary Tales’ and ‘Portraits of Numbers’— that attract her attention, and which are most often autobiographical in nature. This mixed media work is created from deconstructed pinhole photographs...
