About Jisbar: Jean-Baptiste Launay
Jisbar — Jean-Baptiste Launay, b. 1989 — is a French artist based in Lisbon whose practice operates at the intersection of art history and popular culture, producing offbeat, parodic reinterpretations that find in the collision of canonical imagery and contemporary visual language something genuinely new. His works layer symbols, text, and both realistic and instinctive mark-making into compositions of considerable density — surfaces that reward sustained examination, each element in dialogue with the others, multiple readings available depending on where you look and what you bring to the looking.
The Mona Lisa in Space
Jisbar's engagement with art history is direct and irreverent. His reinterpretations of the Mona Lisa have become a defining strand of his practice — culminating in a performance on the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death in which he sent his reinterpretation of the painting into space, floating 33.4 kilometres above Earth for over an hour and a half. He became the first artist ever to achieve such a feat, and the international media coverage that followed confirmed that Jisbar operates at the level of genuine cultural event rather than mere gallery practice.
Collecting Jisbar at Creed Gallery
Jisbar's institutional credentials are considerable. His work has been exhibited at the Louvre Museum in collaboration with the Grand Palais Immersif, and at the National Museum for the History of Immigration in Paris, where he presented Love is the New Fame to then-President François Hollande at an exhibition condemning racism and antisemitism. He has collaborated with Patek Philippe, BMW, Armani, Ducati, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and with figures including MotoGP champion Fabio Quartararo and DJ Snake. Creed Gallery currently holds Krylon Monkey at £12,000, available for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey and London.
Why Collect Jisbar
Few contemporary artists combine Jisbar's institutional weight — the Louvre, national museums, presentations to heads of state — with genuine cultural-event stunts like sending the Mona Lisa into space. As with any artist, individual pieces vary in demand and value — our team is happy to talk you through the specifics of any work you're considering.
