ici, je vous dis tout

Born in 66, I grew up in a school, in a family of teachers oriented towards childhood. It was in Châtel-Gérard in a village in Burgundy, located at a few kilometers from where I live now. In the meantime I lived in Paris for 15 years. I was a student and then a graphic designer, I have tasted for a while life in a company of communication. But in 1990, the gulf war gave a stop to my professional activities. I get away… I first tried the adventure of the comic book with my friends from Editions Hors Gabarit, Anne Baraou and Pascale Bougeault. Then I turned to illustration for children and I enjoyed it for few years working for the press and publishers: - Têtes en l'air Didier jeunesse 1998 - My favorite color Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - 1, 2, 3, c’est à moi Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - Monsieur Doigt se lève Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - Monsieur Doigt se fait mal Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - La maison de Julie la fourmi Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - La maison de Pascale la souris Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - La maison de Claire la Chauve-souris Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - La maison de Bruno le poisson Albin Michel Jeunesse 1998 - La repas Casterman Jeunesse 1999 - Drôle de caresses Albin Michel Jeunesse 1999 - Petit clown Albin Michel Jeunesse 1999 - La soupe aux bisous L'école des loisirs 2000 - Petit cowboy Albin Michel Jeunesse 2000 - Hello !

(Album-Cédérom) Albin Michel Jeunesse 2003 - Tout sur la vie des martiens Albin Michel Jeunesse 2005 During this period a child is born, then the family goes to live in the country. We moved to Ravières in 2000. We take root. Another child is born. The professional demands are waning, I change my job to return to computer graphics. As a freelancer this time, for a prestigious publisher : l'école des loisirs. At the same time, I turn to more personal creations. In 2009, appears « poupée sauvage ». A kind of shared label with Philippe Poivert, my partner in life and in creation. A blog starts to chronicle these creations. The textile is then the base. Punctuated with scraps of everyday life. Used in echo to our life of contemporary savages. The whole being figurative. The exhibitions of « poupée sauvage » follow one another. The first one under the impulse of a friend, Christina Hugo, a huge thank you to her: - April to September 2010 La cour des petits miracles Exhibition Castle of Ancy le Franc - March to April 2011 Poupée sauvage Exhibition Museum of Naïve and Popular Arts Noyers sur Serein - Summer 2011 Carapaces Installation Bauchant room Museum of Naïve and Popular Arts Noyers sur Serein - May 2012 Printemps sauvage Exhibition Museum-gallery of the Faïencerie Ancy le Franc - May 2012 The Raplapoils Installation Jacques Prévert Library Montbard - September 2012 to June 2013 Avatars Series of workshops and exhibitions College La Chènevière des Arbres Ancy le Franc - November 2012 Textile Passion Collective exhibition Town hall of the VIth district Paris - March 2013 Poupées Yao Museum of Avallon Avallon - February 2014 Little Fashion Week Collective exhibition Brussels - May 2014 Diane chasseresse Collective exhibition Castle of Ancy le Franc - May 2014 Ligne rouge Collective exhibition at the artist Linet Andréa space Perrigny sur Armançon - September 2015 Festival Rabotage Collective exhibition Old court Semur en Auxois - December 2015 Dialogue Installation in duo with the artist Valéa DjiNN Museum of Noyers sur Serein - May 2016 Dans l’armoire d’Emmaüs installation in duo with the artist Valéa DjiNN Emmaüs Planay - June to September 2017 Village d'Artiste Group exhibition invited by the artist Claire Richez Rablay sur Layon (49) - July 2017 Metamorphosis Collective exhibition Burgundy Art Gallery Ravières The Covid is passing by. Stuck between 4 walls I try to escape and I open my eyes to the world around me. The plant imposes itself then to the workshop... Since, a balancing act is created between the figurative (amulets) and the abstraction (the rest). Another change, I now move alone on the path of creation because Philippe Poivert is walking (and for a while) his own creative path. That's why this new site bears only my name. But I hope to be able to move forward here in your company: don't hesitate to give me your feedback on this site; thank you for Reading me.
