About the Artist

Graduated from the art school of Strasbourg in France, and university of Maastricht in the Neteherlands as art teacher/art workshop. Exhibitions in Los Angeles ( raid project gallery), new-york ( Bronx river Art Center), Washington DC, France, The netherlands, Poland, Germany.
Fotography installation video drawing are the mediums I use. I am interested by the phenomenon of collective memory and his relation/influence on individuals.
Text Jose Ruiz-curator Bronx River Art Center New-York:
Jean-Michel Crapanzano (France/Netherlands) explores the edge between propaganda and visual art. Before the age of Photoshop or tabloid magazines’ constant doctoring of images to sell a story, the use of falsified photography has been a long running strategy to control public perception and memory. The most notorious cases come from Stalinist Russia where it was commonplace for Soviet history to be rewritten with inconvenient participants clumsily removed from all forms of pictorial existence. Even those who had aided the Communist Revolution in its early stages could easily turn from heroes to villains overnight and crudely disappear from all official Soviet photographs. Leon Trotsky is perhaps a perfect example. Adopting this visual form of erasure, Jean-Michel Crapanzano’s project is comprised of new photographs and wall paintings that displace identity in figurative images. From local hipsters in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where the artist lives, to the recent G8 Summit held in Russia, the blatant and apparent disappearance of certain figures exalt a notion of creating new histories rather than attempting to discredit past ones.
