This is the catalogue of the exhibition "Mises en Boîtes" by the artist Jean-Michel JAUDEL which is held at Galerie Meyer - Oceanic & Eskimo Art in Paris from 22 may through 7 june.
..."Once a year Anthony JP Meyer has the pleasure and privilege of exhibiting the works of a contemporary artist. For 2014 he has selected Jean-Michel JAUDEL and his boxes.
Jaudel definitely has a twinkle in his poets eyes as he looks over the bits and pieces of refuse abandoned on the wayside of society.
He extracts from an mass of heteroclite objects elements with which, he assembles allegorical representations within the strict confines of a box. Be they of fundamental or mundane questions, daily situations, or undesired maladies - nothing is passed by.
Following the meanders of his own imagination, inspired by the objects he encounters, his amused and amusing perception of the facts of life are materialized by structured and elegant compositions with carefully chosen and telling titles."
