Jean-Claude Meynard was born in Paris in 1951 and died in 2019.  He lived and worked in Paris and Valbonne in the Alpes-Maritimes.

He was one of the signatories of the Fractalist Manifesto published in 1997. His highly diversified work takes hyperrealism as its starting point, evolving later towards fractal geometry and digital art.

His work has been exhibited in France, the United States, Mexico, South Korea (Yangpyeong Museum; Schema Art Museum), China and Turkey. Since 2006, he has also been creating his "Demeures Fractales" (Fractal Houses) installations in public and private spaces. His works can be found in numerous collections, including the Museo del Ferrocarril (Mexico), the Villa Tamaris art center, the BNP-Paribas collection, the Fonds National d'Art Contemporain, the Fondation Mesnage-Augier collection, the André Campana collection and the Musée d'Evreux's collection.


While drawing on the interactions between art and science, the aesthetic experiments represented by Jean-Claude Meynard's works are also metaphysical reflections on man's place in a constantly shifting world that has lost its center. Volume, relief and the digital medium are other ways in which the artist represents post-Euclidean reality.
