Jean-Michel Sanejouand

Why this artist matters now

Jean-Michel Sanejouand was a French artist. His work ranged from site-specific art to monumental sculptures, from readymade-like objects, to paintings of oneiric landscapes in which (usually) one of his sculptures stands. During his lifetime, three retrospectives of his work were organized, in Lyon (1986), his birthtown, in Paris (1995), where he lived for thirty years, and in Nantes (2012), in the region where he lived for the rest of his life.
