Jean-François de Bus
The Modern Lamb
Spiritual great-grandson of the Flemish mystic painters, Jean-François de Bus is not an artist whose work is easy to tackle. Mixing, with surprising consistency, that which usually only has meaning through being the object of distinct representations (either of the secular world or the sacred world), his baroque compositions give us, in a style similar to that of Diego Riveras, a vision at once funny and profound of the contradictions that underlie our modernity.
