Searching for reality in the unconscious, broadening the human logic with absurdity, following a philosophy based on irrationality — French artist Benjamin JeanJean draws the inspiration for his work from the surrealist movement. Surreal means 'unreal', something that only exist in our dreams, and it's those covert dreams that the 28 year old wants to bring to life with his drawings and photographs.
"Everyone sees something different in my pictures, depending on their individual perception and associations”, says BJJ. “In fact I’m only providing them the object and their imagination turns it into a symbol.
Based in Southwest France, Benjamin JeanJean’s artwork stands for a neo-symbolism based on contemporary aesthetics. By combining linear elements with ephemeral objects he creates subtle sequences of the modern world that provoke images and emotions but leave the observer to associate with them.
