JACQUES BOSSER (BORN 1946) Erathipa Mixed media, wood sculpture Signed, titled and dated on reverse: 91 Height 133 cm - Width 122 cm French contemporary artist Jacques Bosser, born in Le Havre in 1946, enjoys an international reputation. His work has been exhibited in France as well as in the USA, London, 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.
