Solo shows and group exhibitions with Ben Frost, Robert Combas, Speedy Graphito, Hervé di Rosa, Miss.Tic… Various fairs represented by galleries at Urban Art Fair Paris, Art-Up (Lille Art Fair), Art Taipei… press releases: L’Express, Air France Magazine, Artitude Tome 2 and the latest release currently in the world The Bible Calligraphy (101 artists), AD Spain, Marie Claire House, etc… BIOGRAPHY A name that resonates like a good luck charm when you know the symbolic meaning of the number attached to the artist’s first name. After a career in aerospace, she returns to her lifelong passion. Born in Lyon in 1974, Johanne 8 now lives and works in Paris. An established contemporary artist, she has been exhibiting her paintings and sculptures since 2008 in recognized galleries. Her works are shown from Melbourne to Barcelona, via Lausanne or Geneva, as well as in France: Paris, Deauville, Megève, Courchevel, Arcachon, or Saint-Tropez… She has also invested prestigious venues such as the Grand Palais de Lille for Lille Art-Up or L’Urban Art-Fair in Paris. Johanne 8 imagines luminous, colorful canvases in her studio that tell a story. Her story!!!… Thus the artist defines herself today as an heir to Bad Painting, a movement of American graffiti artists. She joins the young artistic movement of “Street Pop,” which she shares with other artists like Benjamin Spark, a young and talented Belgian artist. Observed and chosen by major fashion names Paul&Joe, Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel) and Olivier Rousteing (Balmain); and by French gastronomy, three-star Chef Anne-Sophie Pic, Johanne 8 pursues her path and continually renews herself. When Johanne 8 returns to Paris, it is to devote herself fully to her first loves: she writes screenplays for cinema and television. At the same time, she picks up the brushes again and exhibits canvases where the diversity of techniques used goes hand in hand with the plurality and richness of visual codes. Deliberately, Johanne 8 makes images clash, interwoven with words, in order to convey her inner bubbling and the variety of her artistic and cultural references. She invites the viewer to reflect on their own cultural mosaic, on what constitutes today our multiethnic identities. She has just developed a new technique to give additional depth to her creations, drawing inspiration from candy brands that she loves to place on the canvases (Milky Way, Bounty, Galak, Mars…). This is no surprise, as the artist grew up in the 1980s and is deeply imbued with that culture. In her paintings you will surely find references to those who always inspired her: Basquiat, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Erro, or Julio Le Parc. Her universe also includes Pulp, 1950s comics, as well as international current events and major social themes. As for the 8 next to her first name, it is the day-of-birth number of her son Mattia.
