"Among a thousand equally promising, equally deceptive possibilities, Jean-Baptiste Sécheret has chosen one of the most perilous, which is to paint contemporary reality, the landscape in which his life, and ours, take place [...].
These works and researches converge in the reckless act of standing in the street, in front of a construction endowed with two equally comminatory characters, namely a precise, excavated, intimidating material reality - the Pont Neuf mascaron, Avenue Magenta, Flat Iron - sealed by the representation millions of people have of it".
