Biography

Jean-Michel Voge was born on May 10, 1949, in Valence. After studying law, he began to work in finance and branched off towards photography in 1978. He started working for many French and foreign magazines.

From 1982 to 2010, he initially worked for Madame Figaro and then to Figaro Magazine...[1] Voge worked with Guy Sorman on reports and series on great thinkers and creators through portraits.

It was these meetings that prompted him to publish "Figures d’Europe[2][3]" in the Éditions de la Martinièr. This project gathered not only portraits of fifty men and women representing the spiritual, intellectual, scientific and artistic work of Europe, but also a photo of their hands often accompanied by a handwritten note. Voge also became friends with the American historian Steven Laurence Kaplan who prefaced the book Figures d'Europe. He hosted it during his stay in Paris as it recalls parts of his book Farewell Revolution -1789-1989[4] »

In 1989, he participated in the photography month of Paris with an exhibition on Japan.

He did not continue exhibiting until November 2008, with an exhibition on the Surmas at the Galerie Xavier Nicolas[5][6][7][8]

From 2010, when he finally left the press, he devoted himself to his personal projects and has exhibited since then. In 2010, at the Espace Pierre Premier in Serbia,[9] he had an exhibition with his partner Catherine Painvin[10][11]

In October 2013 at the Galerie du Passage[12] of Paris, Voge had an exhibition titled "Sumos [13][14][15][16][17]" and "Arbres en Aubrac l’hiver [18]" in which he photographed during his partnership with Catherine Painvin. In August 2014, Voge had another exhibition titled "La Namibie" at the Urs von Unger[19] Gallery in Saanen, Gstaad. In 2015, Voge had an exhibition titled "Ombre et Lumière" in Brazil for the APCd Foundation of Marly, Switzerland. He then had another exhibition called "Vision d'Iran[20]" in the Galerie Chevalier of Paris, France. Voge also had an exhibition titled "Iconic Diary"[21][22] at the 6t6 Art Gallery in Miami Beach, Florida (U.S.).

In 2015, he met and partnered with Anna Alexis Michel on the photographic project "The Meringue Project »[23][24][25] " which talks about female sexuality using a meringue.Together, they also undertook the development and dissemination of its archives as a tribute to the great figures of the second half of the twentieth century.
