JACQUES BOSSER (BORN 1946) Composition Mixed media, wood sculpture Height 133 cm - Width 122 cm Born in Le Havre in 1946, Jacques Bosser is a contemporary French artist of international renown. His work has been exhibited in France, the USA, London and Tokyo...Jacques Bosser has developed an empirical technique that he has been refining for over forty years. Working in strata on wooden or paper supports, he applies color in successive layers. These layers are made up of pigments mixed with acrylic resin to form a chromatic paste. Water and air shape his motifs. The painting gradually reveals itself, between layers and layers of paint. Influenced by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi, he leaves room for chance and imperfection.
