About the Item

'J'en Suis Là (I'm Here)' is a large Art Brut mixed media on canvas figurative painting created by French artist Jazzu. Featuring a vivid palette contrasting bright colors such a yellow, red, pink, green and black tones to a blue background, the painting draws us in with its childlike quality. A large bus from which two rapidly drawn profiles seem to emerge, is surrounded by writings such as "small simple pleasures", "J'en Suis Là", "Believe" and so on. Unframed, this large Art Brut painting is signed in the back. Jazzu is a self-taught French artist who was born in Toulouse in 1983. His work derives from his positive and negative experiences as a Social Worker in France, during which time he became sensitive to his inner feelings that generated both anger and affection to the world around him. Filled with energy, his art reflects his raw emotions and what has now been termed Art Brut. He fuels his canvases with writing, pasting and collage and uses his medium to express his feelings in any way he sees fit. Jazzu has a great following in Europe, as he is represented by galleries in Paris, Deauville, Barcelona and Toulouse. One of our favorite quotes about him is by a gallerist in Paris who wrote: 'Les toiles de Jazzu parlent comme la trompette de Miles Davis pouvait pleurer ou rire, parce qu’elles ont de l’enfant ce que Sartre appelait un monstre que les adultes fabriquent avec leurs regrets.' Roughly translated : Jazzu’s work speaks in the same language that Miles Davis’ music could make you laugh or cry, and what Sartre called the monster that adults create with their regrets or childhood.

My Home Town by Judith Williams contemporary collage abstract on canvas
By Judith Williams
Located in Atlanta, GA
"My torn paper shapes are put together like large remains of sculpture being reassembled. My initial thoughts are on pure shape. The unusual shapes coming together in their raw simplistic form, how they interact with each other, the shapes creating their own language. I let them stand alone in their purest form. The way they come together in the space helps ground them, giving a friction of sorts, a system, a world built around the forms, a quiet place within. I love large inviting spaces, as if to say, “Come here, I’m here to comfort you.” I am creating a space where you find a soothing uncluttered balance. I want you to like the stillness there. So every piece of work has a piece of me in it, my personality, my love of spaciousness and calm. I am totally aware of every aspect of the work and in the moment, concentrating on that one moment in time—the Now. It is my desire that the sense of peace, harmony, and stillness is communicated to you." Judith Williams...
