Guillaume Maraud develops his work in
a spirit of winter romanticism in which cultural mediums provide the codes of a
new generation of vanities. By creating various series of inert objects and
images, he replays a mass dysfunctional empathy. Post-conceptual gestures place his
work in an irresolute state between the construction of form, the desire to
produce, and their impossibility. From the financing of the object for which we are
being solicited, to its production and reappearance in different states,
everything acts.
Born in 1988 in
Bordeaux, he now lives and works in Paris. He studied law at Université de
Bordeaux, then studied at ENSAPC in Cergy.
He is represented by Bel Ami in Los
Angeles (USA) and Édouard Montassut in Paris.
