About the Item

ISBN 979-8-9853078-0-1 Art book 328 pages This mid-career survey of the works of Jacques Jarrige marks the 12th anniversary of my fruitful collaboration with him. At the heart of Jacques’ practice is the moment of encounter: between the artist and himself, his material, his audience—between the audience and a work or process. In this spirit, I invited seven contributors with different backgrounds and sensibilities to write about their own encounters with Jacques and his work. Their texts form the backbone of the present volume, which unfolds in five sections. In Section I, curator and art historian Glenn Adamson describes the French decorative arts world from which Jarrige emerged and draws the reader’s attention to art movements, particularly surrealism and Art Brut, whose aesthetic and intellectual sensibilities are reflected in Jacques’ work. Isi Litke then reflects on a series of exchanges with Jacques that took place over the course of 2021, concerning his early encounters with art and the process of finding his voice and vocabulary as a young artist. Jacques Jarrige introduces Section II, which comprises portraits of his studios over the years, with a brief meditation on his relationship to these spaces. Section III contains a catalog of Jacques’ works and collaborative projects to date and opens with a poetic account of form and space in Jacques’ work, written by long-time friend and collector Laurent Charreyron. It also features images of interior spaces coming to life with Jacques’ interventions, and my own reflections on working with Jacques on the complete renovation of my home and gallery. In Section IV, Maxime Deurbergue, a priest and religious art historian, explores Jacques’ sacral work, and locating him in the long tradition of artists who seek to depict the body of Christ. The book concludes, in Section V, with an original collection of short vignettes by award-winning French novelist Maylis de Kerangal, inspired by her friendship with Jacques and experience of living with his work. Jacques’ art and its relationship to space and time has inspired me to pay closer attention to the world around me. This volume is a testament to how many share this sentiment, whether they are collectors, fellow artists, interior designers, or critics. Valerie Goodman.
