Belgian born, digital artist/photographer, Jean-Marie Guyaux arrived in Manhattan at the tail end of the Warhol years. He began his visual journey by attending SVA and the New School for Social Research while fine-tuning his practice and erudition assisting preeminent photographers such as Mike Cuesta and Bob Richardson.
As his professional career emerged he rapidly rose on the scene and his work was featured in numerous major publications including The New York Times, Newsweek and Time magazines as well as French and Italian Vogue. His projects for major NYC advertising agencies have resulted in his work being a mainstay of the New York theater community, including major Broadway productions and the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
In 2010, Jean-Marie began to put his emphasis on personal works that reflected the absurdities of our commonality and the impermanence of time. A vision expressed by photographs of slashed and torn advertising posters found in NYC subway stations, close ups of crashed and mangled cars, overhead shots of people in search of utopia. By 2015, Jean-Marie’s focus turned to the fascinating domain of New Media Art. By manipulating the raw data of iconic images via non-photographic applications he found himself at the forefront of a Digital Pop Art movement, a synthesis of Neo-Pop and Glitch Art. His digital renderings can be found in collections located in San Francisco and New York, USA as well as in Germany, France, Spain and Belgium.
When venturing into the arena of video code disruption he has teamed up with soundscape artist Sounderella 007 and the collaborative results are contemplative, psychedelic and always mesmeric.
Jean-Marie’s video works have been viewed and in Denmark, the UK and Croatia.
