After many years of performing, he studied Washi Dollmaking with a Japanese Master.
His recent work combines figurative sculpting, resin casting, paper manipulation techniques, fine painting and a fearless imagination! This unusual combination lends itself to the creation of intricate paper sculptures with rich textural qualities.
Jacques’ background as a circus performer and musician is evident in his use of bright colors and his vivid, whimsical approach to each subject.His "paper" sculptures portray whimsical characters, fanciful maidens and fantasy characters, as well as hilarious Frogs and Snails (see Sculptures and dolls for details), Fashion Animals and an exciting line of anthropomorphic clocks (Time Keepers).
Whatever the subject matter, each creation conveys motion and seems ready to jump off the shelf (do not worry: frogs and snails are well tamed!).
