Infinite costellazioni
Christine Jean
The project “Infinite Constellations” represents a fundamental milestone in the artistic journey of Christine Jean, a French visual artist who has been working on this cycle of works since 2020. In 2025, Jean has been invited for a residency by the association SIC.12 artstudio-Rome, where she will present an exhibition structured in two distinct phases, focused on the exploration of time, matter, and memory through diverse techniques and materials.
1. The Exhibition: Structure and Themes
• First phase: June 5 – June 28, 2025
Presentation of the long-term project “The Event Horizon, Fragments of Constellations,” in dialogue with works from the art brut and contemporary art collection of Gustavo Giacosa and Fausto Ferraiuolo.
On display:
• A series of drawings from the artist’s sketchbooks
• Oil paintings on wood
• Chinese inks on paper and canvas
• Second phase: October 9 – November 9, 2025
A new installation featuring unstretched canvases created during the residency “Stones, Walls, Textures of Time” between Paris and Rome.
Focus: The “time of stones” and its resonance within the artist’s creative processes.
Infinite Constellations” is a project that brings matter, time, and memory into dialogue through an artistic practice that merges painting, drawing, installation, and natural processes. The cycle of works and the Roman exhibition offer an opportunity to reflect on transformation and stratification, both of matter and of creative thought.
