In 2014, Jean-David curated the first Bernard Buffet retrospective exhibition at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan, and assisted Buffet to achieve international acclaim. Much like Baku, Jean-David utilises social media platforms, as well as traditional avenues and a host of connections, to promote the work of rising artists onto a global stage - such artists include Henrik Uldalen, Santiago Parra and Zümrütoğlu.
''Jean-David Malat has become internationally recognised for his ability to both discover emerging artists and immortalise the work of established, artistic legends.''
