Jean-Yves Klein is a canadian artist born in Montreal in 1960. His artistic practice revolves around exploring contemporary mythology through the depiction of female forms fused with animals and objects. His main themes include the female body, power, and the role of women in society. Klein works with paintings, works on paper, and ceramic sculptures, often stylizing body parts and creating phantasmagorical creatures that exude strength and vitality. The most recent exhibition was Homecoming at Arndt in Athens in 2026. Jean-Yves Klein is most frequently exhibited in Germany, but also had exhibitions in China, United States and elsewhere. He has also been in no less than 17 art fairs and in 3 biennials. A notable show was Blickachsen 11 at Skulpturenbiennale Blickachsen in Bad Homburg in 2017.
