Meet the Artist

Jean Philippe (JP) Menetrier was born in Besançon; a small town in the Burgundy region of France. The introverted middle child of three boys, JP grew up on an active farm and was enchanted by nature and the outdoors from a young age. Once introduced to music and film in his teen years JP’s, imagination started to incorporate counterculture and the arts. He DJ’d vinyl throughout his college and following years and maintains his hearty collection to this day. 

After moving to the United States in 2007 JP began experimenting with black and white photography as well as found object sculpting. His artistic passions developed into abstract painting and drawing during early COVID isolation. His passion to create art is only surpassed by his love of his daughter (Vezia), fiancee (Sarah), and sneakers (Jordans).
