BEN - C'EST JAMAIS PAREIL
A painting by Ben Vautier, reading C’est Jamais Pareil
Title: C’est jamais pareil
Artist: Ben Vautier (born 1935)
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions:
Signature: Signed “Ben” (bottom right)
Description:
In this characteristically bold text painting, French artist Ben Vautier delivers a simple yet profound statement: “c’est jamais pareil” (“it’s never the same”). Rendered in his instantly recognizable white cursive on a matte black background, the phrase is accompanied by a skeletal hand, reinforcing the existential weight of constant change and human impermanence..
Ben's text-based pieces are both universal and deeply personal. C’est jamais pareil reminds us of life’s inherent unpredictability and the impossibility of true repetition — whether in experience, thought, or art. This painting, like much of Ben’s work, transforms a wall into a space for reflection, where words are the image and meaning is fluid.
