Jacques Ristorcelli (alias Risto) studied at the National School of fine arts in Bourges. He lives and works in Aix-en-Provence.
One of the pioneers of art videos in the early 1980s, faithful heir of pop art and the Bazooka group, companion of artists such as Raymond Pettibon, Robert Longo and Richard Prince, Ristorcelli draws from existing images of comic books, pulp magazines, engravings, popular images, and personal photographs. He captures the images, cuts them, reframes them, reworks them, redraws details, assembles them by collage, duplicates them, etc.
