DISBLAZE

Since 1993, Jean-Pierre Marquet has been involved in a long-term project that he will not give up anymore. He then attributes to this abysmal work in development permanent the name Autofictions, at a time when this term was still popular of a meaning likely to open up to stimulating research. Associating within large A3 boards of drawings and collages, photographs and paintings, notes and repentances, comments on art and self-reflexivity, Marquet invents a double creator in search of himself, revealing the process of elaboration of an artist's identity from and beyond a never-ending comic strip not to reveal its possibilities to us here. Some twenty-four years, twelve self-published collections, a catalog, an incredible artist's book and a handful exhibitions later, Déséblouir presents a selection of 112 plates selected over the last twelve years with the ambition of producing a book coherent. Either a proposal for a “finished” work released by a vision external subjective among the infinity of potential works contained in a work claiming the unfinished, the open, the research and the eternal restart.
