Guillaume COCHINAIRE
born in 1987 in Nancy (East of France)
gratuate of the Ecole Nationale d’Art de Nancy in 2012
Artist statement:
"My work consists in customising or in putting together particular objects, with
a certain constance in using what we say are noble materials, fonctional objects
and natural forms. I set in place an action or the tools of an action, from wich at
first sight the absurd characteristics reflect something of the human condition but
furthermore allows the miscibility of concepts such as time and space. My fondamental
interest for the question of interpretation as a process on one hand sensitive
and on the other intellectual leads me to the “acheiropoïete” images, those images
not-made by the hand of man.”
