We present Jacques Courtejoie's photographs from the last 20 years of his production, from his large silver prints of the late 1980s to the enhanced Polaroids of 2008. Each photograph is unique, and the result of several successive photographs, montages and collages, the final copy of which is enhanced by hand with coloured pencils and inks. From his decadent universe emerges a subtle eroticism, a nostalgia for lost loves and a poisonous ambivalence where the profane and a hijacked religious iconography mingle.

Jacques Courtejoie was a Belgian photographer born in Congo in 1949. He passed away in 2023. He lived in Brussels and was exhibiting his work since 1976, notably at the Espace Photographique Contretype (Brussels), the Museum of Modern Art in Liège, the Museum voor Fotographie in Antwerp, the Museum of Photography in Charleroi, the Museum of Ixelles, the Brakke Grond in Amsterdam, the Centre National de la Photographie in Paris, the Musée d'art contemporain de l'ULB (Brussels), in Japan. His works are part of many public and private collections in France and abroad.
