Jehan
“In a world of bullshit, fashion and mumbo jumbo it is a relief to know that an artist as strong and humble as Jehan is creating simple beauty with such diligence and madness. Time will tell the unknowing that this is a very real and serious artist.”
Robert Lloyd, Singer/Songwriter, The Nightingales
David Jehan’s work addresses personal struggles such as alienation, depression and loss, as well as wider environmental and social issues. His art is grounded in the punk and DIY ethics of the late 1970’s. He creates instinctively in many media.
In his photomontages, seemingly unrelated images are juxtaposed, sometimes occupying the same space, to construct new meaning. The irresponsibility of childhood and it’s passing as an adult, and visions of a post-oil world, are examples of recurring themes in his work.
“The images and content are powerful and arresting. The work holds it’s own with a self-confidence that is interesting and aggressive.”
April Gertler, Artist, Berlin
In the video ‘Down with the Blue Lobsters’ the overlapping visual layers and quick succession of images give the narrative great depth – concerning an idealist who thinks he can right wrongs (but can’t), while ‘Changed’ combines and repeats audio and video to explore the breakdown of a relationship, caused by both depression and anti-depressants.
