French painter and visual artist, a graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris (2012), Jean‑Baptiste Née develops a site-specific practice through immersive stays and artist residencies of several weeks or months, primarily in various mountainous regions such as the Alps and the Vercors massif, France. He meets painter Alexandre Hollan
in 2005 and starts drawing from life, in direct contact with nature. Since 2015, he has incorporated natural elements into his creative process: rain, snow, and the topography itself actively contribute to the formation of his works. Between 2018 and 2019, he carried out artistic research in the Wudangshan and Lushan mountain ranges (China), and later in the Kiso Mountains (Japan), engaging with the Taoist concept of “Heaven.” His practice is informed by the phenomenological philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the monism of Baruch Spinoza. In 2021, he published his first monograph, Le Monde nu, and held a solo exhibition at Galerie Camera Obscura (Paris). In 2022, his work was featured in the group exhibitions Le Vent and Météorologiques at the MuMa – André Malraux Museum of Modern Art (Le Havre, France), where a diptych entered the museum’s public collection. Since 2023, he has been a regular participant in Art Paris Art fair with Galerie Camera Obscura.
