Jean-Baptiste "JB" Marion
The Charismatic Artist with a Cruel Eye
I paint souls and call them beautiful.
I live in New York, where the art world is as much about power plays as it is pigment. My brush captures what people try to hide — the bruises beneath charm, the cracks in composure. I’ve got three friends who know me better than I know myself, and one of them — Jude — I’ve loved and failed in nearly equal measure. I don’t do redemption arcs, just honest ones. I’m not here to make you comfortable. I’m here to make you seen.
What I'm Into: unfinished canvases, the way light hits a face at midnight, Willem's laughter, Malcolm's rants, Jude's silence
