“Tete Morte”

“A painting by Jacques Resch is not perceived in a single glance. It is peeled back little by little through
the thousand subtleties that you discover during this encounter.” — Harry Kampainne

Jacques Resch is a surrealist artist born in the south of France, who now resides in Africa.

Entirely self-taught, Resch’s passion for the Arts began at the age of 12 painting otherworldly landscapes to portraits. His style of painting has a remarkable resemblance to the likes of Bosch, Breughel and Dali, but we can also discern in them the full range of society’s fears to which most (if not all) artists are sensitive: problems of progress, drugs, pollution and more. Resch’s style is also influenced by Symbolism, especially on paintings like “Les pyramides” and “Le Diabolo“.
