Jean-Michel Roccuzzo is an artistic acrobat. An aesthete who creates a sense of weightlessness in the way that he orchestrates a perfect balance in the pieces that fill his interior. With a background in advertising, the artist combines his works together in perfect harmony, creating a way to link objects together. A sort of bridge that smooths the path for two works with starkly differing characters to engage in a mutual dialogue. This is essential for an artist who appreciates both the contrasts that he creates and the stories that his works tell. Indeed, he feeds off them. The concept of his latest sculptural project is therefore less surprising than it might have been. Jean-Michel reappropriates images of “fails” taken from the web, transforming them into impressive, sometimes abstract and frequently surprising tableaux, which are all the more fascinating due to the fact that they are not original works. A variation creating an improvement through a change of direction. Jean-Michel redraws the boundaries. This also applies in his home, where the changes are significant. His composition – an area in which he excels – regularly evolves as he makes new acquisitions. Only one thing remains constant: his collection of Japanese porcelain. He enjoys hosting guests with this extremely delicately finished porcelain, scrupulously ensuring that saucer, bowl and plates are perfectly matched. The Socialite Family invites you to enter the uniquely hypnotising world of a sublimely refined perfectionist.
