Corentin Grossman(b. 1980; Metz, France)
Corentin Grossman’s work mixes variou influences, from medieval painting to popular art, images of record sleeves, to 3D modeling products.
“If I refer to a local, partial, tiny, or very short reality, it is better to register it in the interdependent and infinitely complex movements of the countless elements that make up our cosmos. The ambiguity of the approach also lies in this thought, the structuring tendency of which is doomed to failure in advance. It can be a question, not without humor, of the lightest and most serious thing at the same time. Relating them to eachother, without any hierarchy, is a poetry that I like.” – Corentin Grossmann
