Artist of the Collection

François Curlet

Born in 1967 in Paris, France

François Curlet bases his artistic practice on the ironic and subtle appropriation of everyday objects to create poetic and strange worlds where references to popular culture, the industrial era, and Belgian artistic culture collide. He defines himself as a “spaghetti conceptualist,” in a nod to the evolution of the classic western into the spaghetti western, thus placing his work under the sign of the absurd and self-mockery.

Born in 1967 in Paris, François Curlet studied at the Beaux-Arts of Saint-Étienne and Grenoble, then at the École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre in Brussels. He currently lives and works between Paris and Brussels.
