JISBAR
Jisbar was born Jean-Baptiste Launay in Val d’Isere, France in 1989. A pop artist who began his artistic endeavors as a Parisian street artist, his creations are a reflection of a society deeply immersed in popular culture and of a generation rocked by the media. Musicians and a multitude of artists inspire him and are often found in his archetypal paintings, which blend modern symbolisms with timeless themes.
Jisbar captures the nostalgia and ease of a childhood past, through colorful visuals. The intensity of hues leads the spectators to focus on each detail and in turn to discover a variety of universes within. Jisbar likes to say each of his artworks represent “moments in life”, like a memory that we immortalize in a photo album. This wistfulness of a time past, the playful innocence as well youthful mischief of his childhood are captured in his paintings, where the power of color plays an overriding part.
Recently this rising star of the art world has enjoyed collaborations with brands such as BMW, Ducati, LG, Armani Exchange & IKKS apparel.
Gallery 444 is proud to be Jisbar’s first American
gallery.
