The oeuvre of Jean-Georges Massart reflects a profound love for the simplest things. He commands respect for what he cherishes, enabling us to marvel and stand in awe at something as humble as a twig or a found stone. His creations are the culmination of a meticulous process that begins with walking, collecting, and selecting, and concludes with combining, assembling, and presenting.
In his hands, seemingly insignificant objects undergo a metamorphosis. The transformations of the material always respect its inherent properties: supple willow branches are bent, hollow elder stems become tubes...
Jean-Georges Massart’s body of work is remarkably cohesive, characterized by simplicity, honesty, and a deep respect for the found material.
