Juxtaposed Emotions

The exhibition "Juxtaposed Emotions" at Frédérick Mouraux Gallery in Brussels features works by Jim Jazz, also known as Jean-Marie Poiré. The show runs from May 10 to June 27, 2026, with an opening reception on May 10.

The artist's reflections touch upon his artistic influences, including Giotto, Botticelli, El Greco, Caravaggio, Fragonard, Turner, Nicolas de Staël, Rothko, and Errò. Poiré discusses how color evokes emotions and how techniques like "repentir" (painting over an existing work) have shaped his creative process. He also explains his choice of the artist name Jim Jazz, relating it to parallel lives and a desire to maintain a sense of youth.
