Art does something to a space. It draws attention, evokes emotions, and creates an atmosphere that inspires or soothes. Every work by Yann Deschepper is an interplay of tranquility and tension. Layers of paint, texture, and line that together tell something that words cannot. His work moves between chaos and calm, finding its themes in abandoned structures, forgotten places, and the quiet beauty of the everyday. Art for people who appreciate the extraordinary.

La journée de la jupe
Ma roue a mal tourné – SOLD
Depuis l’époque du Roxy
What began as a way to quiet the mind grew into a fascination. Seven years ago, Yann started cutting and pasting collages. Not as an art project, but as a mental exercise. Something to let the noise of the day fade away. Abstract paintings soon followed, then detailed ink drawings, and eventually the work he creates today: paintings of abandoned buildings and half-submerged structures, in fresh colors and a minimalist, almost silent style.
Those half-submerged buildings are also more than an aesthetic choice. They are a whisper to the future, a world where the water is rising and architecture is slowly disappearing. Not an alarming statement, but a silent question. Painted in fresh hues, almost serene, as if nature is calmly going about its business. The unease lies not in the color, but in what you recognize.
Yann is entirely self-taught. No formal education, only an excellent eye, curiosity, perseverance, and an inexhaustible stream of ideas that find him during walks, in the streetscape, and in the architecture of the everyday. His studio is home. His inspiration is everywhere.
