Jean Le Gac [1] is a French conceptual artist, painter, pastelist, photographer using mixed media,[2] frequently video or photography and text to document his investigations and sketched scenes. His poetic photographic interventions in which he is most often the main subject are accompanied either by typed text describing the underlying story in the artwork or handwritten notes in the art piece itself.[3] Member of the Narrative art movement[4] since the seventies, Le Gac ofttimes tells a story about an imaginary character that viewers can easily identify with the artist himself.[5] He calls it a “metaphor for painting."[6] Le Gac also uses the artist's book as a central part of his art practice.[7] Le Gac is a Professor and lecturer at Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques. <
