After a career in aeronautics, she decides to return to her lifelong passion. Born in Lyon in 1974, Johanne 8 lives and creates today in Paris. A confirmed contemporary art artist, she has been exhibiting her paintings and sculptures since 2008 in recognized galleries. Her works are shown from Melbourne to Barcelona, via Lausanne and 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 paintings in her studio that tell a story. Her story!!!… Thus the artist today defines herself 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. Studied and chosen by fashion greats Paul&Joe, Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel) and Olivier Rousteing (Balmain); and by French gastronomy, the three-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic, Johanne 8 continues her path and constantly 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. Simultaneously, she takes up the brushes again and exhibits canvases where the diversity of techniques used goes hand in hand with the plurality and abundance of visual codes. Deliberately, Johanne 8 makes images collide, mingled with words, in order to convey her inner turmoil and the variety of her artistic and cultural references. She invites the viewer to question their own cultural mosaic, what constitutes our mixed identities today. She has just developed a new technique to give extra relief to her creations, drawing inspiration from candy brands she loves to affix on the canvases (Milky Way, Bounty, Galak, Mars…). This is reminded by the fact that the artist grew up in the 80s and is fully imbued with that culture. In her canvases you will surely find references to those who have always inspired her, Basquiat, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Erro, or Julio Le Parc. Her universe also includes Pulp, 1950s comics, as well as international current affairs and major societal themes. As for the 8 beside her first name, it is the day-of-birth number of her son Mattia."
