Description
Jean-Michel Chesné (French, born 1959) The Animals of Bremen Ink with white highlights. Monogrammed and dated 08. Height 49, Width 22 cm. Provenance: the collection of Laurent Danchin (1946–2017), writer, essayist and art critic, passed down through the family. Born in Paris, Jean-Michel Chesné is self-taught, having previously studied agriculture; he devoted himself to art from the 1980s onwards. A visit to the Palais Idéal du Facteur Cheval in 1992 definitively steered his work towards art brut and singular art. Based in Malakoff, he has been building ‘La Grotte’ there since 1997 – a mosaic garden-gallery in the style of Picassiette – and has been creating ink ‘lace drawings’ since 2008, such as lot 81 in this sale. He is one of the artists featured by Laurent Danchin in *Mycelium: Savant Génie, Génie Brut* (Editions de l’Abbaye d’Auberive, Auberive, 2014).
