Born in 1980 in Blanc-Mesnil, lives and works in Meaux.
After a degree in plastic arts at the Sorbonne, Michaël Jourdet joined the Ecole Supérieure d'Arts de Rueil-Malmaison. After obtaining a DNAP in 2003, he entered the Fine Arts School of Paris, where he received the Congratulations of the jury for his DNSAP in 2007. Since 2008, he regularly exhibits in Paris and in France: the 104, the Gaîté Lyrique, the Galerie le Plateau, the Abattoirs de Toulouse... and participates, at the same time, in different structures or artistic associations such as the association Jeune Création or the Collectif Ring. He has been teaching drawing and painting since 2011, and since 2016 he has been a teacher in the Via Ferrata preparatory class at the Beaux Arts de Paris.
The teaching of the artist Claude Rutault and the writings of Kasimir Malevitch, at the beginning of his career, direct his plastic work and his questioning towards monochrome, conceptual painting, its exhibition and its interpretation by an audience. The notions of frame, surface and screen remain the basis of his plastic proposals, which today are based on a balance between the conceptual approach and the figuration of painting.
