I'm born in 1981 and graduate
2004 from the Superior Art School of Le Havre, Normandy.
I recently moved to Lyon for more conveniences with my connections related
to the electronic music world (I compose Ambient, Minimal techno and
progressive on various labels since 2002)

About my artwork, it's a melt of several mediums: drawings, paintings,
scultpture, installations, and soundscapes even if I'm more painting
focused nowadays.
My subjects are about oppositions or combinations of various elements
remaining in the collective imaginery such like religion(Although
i'm atheist, catholicism is a great source of inspiration, maybe
due to the will to associate body, soul and sharing objects: pictures,
relics, eucharistie, sufferings and martyrs..), prosaïcal mankind
conditions, primal instincts, civilisations process.
So you can find lot of recurrent elements like hanging chairs, crosses,
burial, flying eyes, jesus like caracters, stomacs, sperms, faces,
fotus, war fields, afraid soldiers. which are depicted naive style
or comics or expresionnism touches. All evolving in a kind of puzzle
in a labyrinthic progression.
If you look a the "lost entertaimnent" photos serie you
can see that the installation work is kind of dry and deceptive,
as if the painted work have to figure an expressive wave of unnamed
energie and the volume work a form of poverty which brings a dramatic
haunting overview.
My first statement is that I think there is no progress in art.
The ways to express fundamentals like life, love and death can be
changing by the technical evolutions, but the issues are the same.
Maybe that's why I consider painting as a milestone which combinate
the same statements with an evolving grammar and vocabulary.
