Jean-Loup Bézos (born in 1952, Mont-de-Marsan) Title: Portrait of Claude Viseux – Mixed media (gouache and collages on newspaper) – Signed lower right – Framed under glass 102 × 75 cm. Contemporary artist from the Landes, Jean-Loup Bézos is known for his expressive portraits and compositions combining painting and press fragments. This work represents the self-portrait of Claude Viseux, a major figure in contemporary sculpture and drawing, treated with a vivid palette and a strong graphic style. Notable particularity: the artist has integrated into his composition elements from a real regional newspaper from the Landes (South West), revealing in places mentions such as “Mont-de-Marsan” or an article titled “Samadet – The medals of…” with a group photograph. This nod to the Landes region – Samadet being a village renowned for its earthenware – reinforces the unique character and the time-honored nature of this work. Jean-Loup Bézos, painter, gallery owner and cultural actor, has worked with big names in contemporary art and exhibited in several galleries and institutions.
