Introduction

Initially, still lifes came to life under his fingers, but his incisive eye and innate sense of offbeat humour quickly led him to breathe new life into his creations. It was then that he began to incorporate animals and other living elements into his compositions, transforming his canvases into unique and characterful scenes.

His artistic exploration then expanded to include colour, experimenting with pastels, documentary watercolour, and acrylics, before rediscovering a purity of expression in oil painting. Following participation in exhibitions, he was invited in 1999 to a successful solo show, confirming his talent. Life then led him down a rich and varied professional path—from graphic design to photography, including a stint in the building trades—taking him away from his brushes and pencils for a time, marking a true interruption in his artistic practice.

However, the call of art proved too strong. For the past few years, Jean-François Rousselot has dedicated himself fully to his true passion, resuming his dreams of becoming a painter. Today, he creates hyperrealistic works, vibrant with colour, life, and humour, which he calls FUNNY ART. Drawing inspiration from nature to paint everyday objects with remarkable precision and detail, he intertwines humans, plants, and animals to create scenes where surrealism is never far away. Plays of light and shadow, combined with this playful and quirky touch, create a welcoming atmosphere that invites escape and joy, whatever the themes explored.

In this unique imaginary universe, each canvas is an invitation to reflect on the vanity of the contemporary world, while offering the viewer the possibility of drawing from it a memory, an emotion, a personal meaning.

Listed in the AKOUN and DROUOT art price guides, Jean-François Rousselot is represented in several galleries, sharing his unique perspective on the world with contagious generosity and vitality. He is currently working to expand his presence on the international art scene, aiming to promote FUNNY ART beyond borders.
