plant

Jean-Marc Bustamante's work is characterized by an exchange between sculpture , painting and photography , whereby he mainly devotes his attention to photography. In his "Photographic Images" he tries to bring these different media together and thus changes our perception of these media.

In 1978 he began to create large-format color photographs, which he titled Tableaux . He was best known for his pictures that were taken in the suburbs of Barcelona and illustrate the area around the city limits.

More recently he has preferred Plexiglas as an image carrier. He is particularly interested in color.

In 2003 the artist designed the pavilion for the Venice Biennale.

Exhibitions

Jean-Marc Bustamante has been exhibiting regularly in European galleries since 1977 (France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Austria ...). He showed his works in the USA and Canada (from 1993), in Japan (from 1994) and in Israel (1997).

Worth mentioning is the major exhibition in 2006 at the Kunsthaus Bregenz , where Jean-Marc Bustamante occupied four floors and created a light installation outside the museum building, as well as his collaboration with the American artist Ed Ruscha for the exhibition L'horizon chimérique in the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg .
