Jean Michel Ortholand

Born in 1968, J.M. Ortholand has been drawing and painting, especially, since 2005, at the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts of Grenoble, France. But not only : in his garage, in the metro, but also on the wall of his house, when his wife asks him, kindly and insistently.


He likes border-line characters and animals, urban landscapes, trying to tell a story, and drinking wine with friends. This doesn't improve neither the health of his liver, nor the quality of his painting or the global warming.
