CV
Vincent Beaurin studied silversmithing at the École Boulle, and painting at the ENSET, in the 1970s, in Paris. In the 1980s, he blew paint on canvas. As an artist, the concept of accessibility to the artwork led him to conceive, make, and produce domestic objects in the 1990s. Since his exhibition Fragilism, with the architect, designer, and theorist Alessandro Mendini, in Paris, at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, in 2002, Vincent Beaurin has informed his practice with powdery materials, and visions, with an acute need for luminosity, and levitation. His fascination with atmospheric colours lies at the core of his sculptural, and painting work.
« My work is essentially chromatic. Materials and supports are chosen or developed to give a body to the colour. »
Vincent Beaurin’s artworks belong to the public art collections of the MNAM – Centre Georges Pompidou; of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain; of the FNAC, Fonds National d’Art Contemporain ; and of the MUDAM, Museum of Modern Art, Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg.
He has produced several large private, and public commissioned works globally, including Quiero (2017), Majorca, Balearic Islands; Tree of Life (2016) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; La nuit des Gobelins (2012-2016), tapestry for the French National Mobilier; Andalus, Constellation (2014), Arch, and Couronne (2013), Cheval Blanc Randheli, Noonu atoll, Maldives.
Vincent Beaurin, (1960) is based in Paris.
