Renaud Jerez was born in 1982. He lives and works in Paris. He is known for its sculptures, paintings, and installations, blending degradation, humor, satire, and the potential construction of a defiant future. His installations, composed of human forms, debauched and consumed by architecture and technology, subvert notions of cleanliness and fluidity while disrupting the anticipated progress of new information networks. His pictorial practice, characterized by surface play and framing, alternates between bold tones and veiled, almost pixelated touches. It coexists the early- century modern utopias with their declining and contemporary mirror, acting as a revealer of tensions and authorities between the real world and the figurative world.
Renaud Jerez’s recent solo exhibitions include : Crèvecoeur, Paris (FR), Musée des Abattoirs, Toulouse (FR), ICA, Miami (US), Jenny’s, Los Angeles (US), National Gallery, Prague (CZ). He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo, Paris (FR), Consortium, Dijon (FR), MO.CO, Montpellier (FR), Tri Postal/Lille 3000 (FR), Dortmunder Kunstverein (DE), Kunsthalle KAI10, Arthena Foundation, Düsseldorf (DE), New Museum, New York (USA) Mainz (DE), MAAT, Lisbon (PT); KAI10, Arthena Foundation, Düsseldorf (DE)...
