Paramour, 2012
Drawing
By distorting the famous Paramount logo, French artist Jean-Luc Verna has devised his own emblem: Paramour. He is thus underscoring the vanity of this type of symbol, while at the same time creating his own legend.

Jean-Luc Verna has shown work in many exhibitions – both solo and group – in particular in France, the United States and Spain. In 2016, the Musée d’art contemporain du Val-de-Marne (MAC VAL) held a retrospective covering his more than 25 years of career.

His works are in private and public collections around the world, including those of the MAC VAL, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) (New York), Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris.
