For the 23rd consecutive year, NetJets, the global leader in private aviation, proudly announces its partnership with Art Basel. To highlight its commitment to the arts, NetJets will collaborate with French abstract artist Silvère Jarrosson to create a new art collection exclusively for NetJets that will be displayed at the Art Basel shows in Basel, Paris and Miami Beach.
Born and raised in Paris, Jarrosson trained as a ballet dancer at the renowned Opera National de Paris at only 10 years old but transitioned into abstract painting a decade ago. His background in ballet is seen throughout his motion and fluidity while creating his works of art. Represented by contemporary art agency Studio Artera in Paris, Jarrosson is known for using his whole body to make his art – as he moves or dances with the canvas to create his signature acrylic pieces.
At only 31 years of age, Jarrosson has received widespread praise and has had his work showcased globally. His art is featured in prestigious institutions such as the Villa Medici in Rome, the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, the Lambert Collection in Avignon, the Crédit du Nord Collection, the Mobilier National and the Opera National de Paris, among others.
Jarrosson’s project created for NetJets, entitled “Inner Horizons”, offers owners – the individuals and businesses who are clients of NetJets’ private jet ownership model – captivating insight into his world of poetic immersion, where his spectators become part of the creative inspiration for his shows and projects. His work will be featured in NetJets’ exclusive area within the Collectors Lounge. Accessible only by owners, it will offer a secluded space for guests to enjoy hospitality throughout the show week of Art Basel in Basel. The show aims to merge external travel experiences made possible by NetJets with inner travel experiences created by Jarrosson’s art.
“We are delighted with this partnership. We admire the synergy from the movement Silvère uses to create his art pieces. His beautiful artwork truly moves observers who watch him paint,” Patrick Gallagher, president of sales, marketing & service, said. “Despite coming from different industries, we align in our passion to both create and capture exceptional experiences for others. As many of our Owners are deeply interested in fine art, we believe this partnership will be both inspiring and exciting as Silvère’s career continues to flourish.”
