Jean-Baptiste Sécheret (born 1957)

Jean-Baptiste Sécheret’s work focuses on landscapes. His tightly focused compositions give them a strong, monumental presence. His treatment of color and light is inseparable. The artist favors contrasting twilight, reminiscent of Edward Hopper and Chirico’s silent squares. In 2013, the Académie des Beaux-Arts recognized his work in printmaking by awarding him the Mario Avati prize for the first time.
