Metalloïd Jacques Blin
Artist of Fantasy

Near Laval, at Argentré, Jacques Blin creates his compositions with small, recycled  objects. This won him the nickname of "the ragman of Art".

His creations can be labeled as either naïve or fantastic. Out of his imagination is born this amazing harmony of metallic collages realized with alarm clock's pieces, nails, electronic components or other recycled objects.

Autoportrait

The artist selects his elements with care like a painter who prepares his palette. In the Land of "Douanier Rousseau", Jacques Blin is an artist to be discovered.

He welcomes you by appointment and could guide you in his metalloid world. You could also meet him in temporary regional exhibitions (information of dates and locations on request)
