François Jeune

François Jeune is a French visual artist born in 1951 in Boulogne-Billancourt. He is widely recognized for his significant contributions to contemporary abstraction in France. Trained at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris, he began exhibiting in the early 1980s and became a key figure in the neo-geometric movement in Europe.

His artistic approach is characterized by a disciplined exploration of color and structure, often balancing rational composition with perceptual experience. His works feature grids, vibrating lines, and modulated surfaces that challenge the viewer’s visual perception. Jeune’s work has been shown at major institutions such as the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris, and his pieces are included in both national and international public collections.
