Artist Biography

Born in 1964 in Sète, Jean-Marie Gitard, known by the pseudonym Mr Strange, is a visual artist who has transformed his artistic journey, moving from classical painting to digital art. Breaking away from traditional norms, Mr Strange uses surrealism as a tool to explore and reflect on the world, with a tone that oscillates between poetry, irony, and social critique.

Mr Strange’s style blends digital art, satire, and touches of surrealism. Through sophisticated photographic manipulations, the artist creates hybrid, polymorphic worlds, playing with the absurd and subverting familiar imagery. His works seem to emerge from a parallel reality, where the ordinary transforms into something grotesque, ironic, and poetic.

Each composition reflects the human condition, addressing universal themes such as birth, death, identity, and the contradictions of modern society.

Mr Strange’s creations are successful in today’s art market due to their unique ability to combine critical reflection with entertainment. His satirical and surrealist approach meets the growing demand for provocative art that challenges viewers to engage critically with the modern world.

The use of digital techniques allows Mr Strange to produce works with striking visual impact and exceptional aesthetic quality, making them highly appealing to collectors and art enthusiasts seeking original and contemporary pieces.
