Born in Bordeaux in 1987, Guillaume Clément Jacques lives and works in his native city.
After studying fashion design, he spent fourteen years working with clients in the world of high-end furniture, in Bordeaux, Los Angeles and Paris.
Today, he pursues this quest for harmony between shapes, colors and materials on canvas.
He explores a wide range of mediums: inks, oil pastels, acrylics, fine or broad felt-tips, which he applies to canvas as well as paper. This diversity of materials enables him to modulate intensities, play with transparencies, superimpositions and textures, and alternate precise gestures with more spontaneous outbursts. He defines himself as a researcher, an artisanal chemist of painting: experimenting with themes, shapes, balances, in search of points of contact between rigor and intuition.

His mécanique & chromatique series explores an almost industrial precision, where geometric rigor and colorful logic are articulated in a masterful duality.
A more instinctive proposition, a terrain for experimentation with gesture, light, breath and space, takes shape in the éclats series.
With jardin bleu, he seeks to reconcile, through contrast, this ambivalence between organic freedom and graphic rigor.
His works and research oscillate between sharp and blurred, control and abandonment, construction and letting go. What he seeks in this tension is a form of harmony, a reconciliation.
It’s a way of saying that identity – like binarity – can’t be confined: it’s invented in ruptures, gaps and free zones.
These tensions take shape in his phase aqueuse series. He borrows his vocabulary and principles from chemistry. Space becomes a place of emergence, where the emergence of color is thought of as a reagent: in contact with the support, it becomes language and living matter, in perpetual mutation.
Graphic zones – sharp, sometimes architectural – heckle more instinctive, liquid, diffuse and sometimes chaotic spaces.

The research carried out in phase aqueuse creates a common ground between his other plastic works, to the point of causing an elegant slip.
