BAT.0.BAT

Jean Jacques Quernez is a unique artist whose work is marked by the photographic signature BOB (Logo on paintings), representing the brand BAT O BAT® (Bateau-Bâton). This brand, pronounced "batobate", initially proposed emblematic sailing fishing boats, designed as volume objects.

These unique creations are distinguished by an original feature: the boat's mast, extended in the form of a rod, evokes the image of a flower. The hull of these boats is made from the imprint of a real mussel, a strong homage to the generosity of Mother Nature.

With BOB, a contraction of BAT O BAT, Jean Jacques Quernez operates a fascinating transformation: the object becomes "humanized" and takes on the role of an actor in various scenes of daily life. The stem of the boats is transformed into a foot, and we find these singular characters, the BOB(s), in varied situations such as the beach, romantic relationships, and even the challenges posed by climate change.

Quernez's work is distinguished by his ability to merge art and nature, transforming everyday objects into poetic and evocative symbols. Each BOB tells a story, a moment of life captured with sensitivity and humor. Jean Jacques Quernez's innovative approach reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world and boundless creativity, making his creations unique and inspiring.
