Jean Paul Picard Bio & Statement
Picard is a photographer, graphic & web designer and teacher who has shown his works throughout the NYC metro area. His works are included in major collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The New York Historical Society, and the Slater Memorial Museum.
Born in Morristown, New Jersey, to Canadian parents, his formal art education started at Morristown High’s Art House and at the Morris County Vo-tech in Denville. He received his BFA at Parsons School of Design. In 1981 he moved to Hoboken where he lives and has his studio. His works has been reviewed by the New York Times, Jersey Journal, and the Hudson Reporter.
Since 2013 his technique has evolved by moving the camera, sweeping across the picture plane. He escapes the view finder’s limitations and the digital photograph captures Picard’s fragmented views and memories. And like memory, parts are sharp, clear, even repetitive, while other parts are fussy, missing or cropped. These unorthodox shaped photographs are retrieved and archival printed without manipulation. The negative space is allowed to be an indispensable part of the piece. Picard thinks of his work as a short film in one frame.
