Jacques Fleureaux is a self-taught painter, a passionate about original writings and signsand a creator of ambiance.

He tames his inner seething against mediocrity to paint his works, which are also texts that yield a cry. Abstraction, surely, but only in the sense that the worlds it describes are hidden from sight. Jaycees Fleureaux abhors mediocrity and triviality; yet he never demeans himself to showing it in his work. Quite the opposite, he prefers to contemplate the immensity which commandeers the cosmos that he can not imagine to be void, but rather inhabited by the mind. He believes that PioneerÕs image was not transmitted in vain. It is not necessary to invent extraterrestrial readers: it is up to mankind to read this metatextual message...
