Jean-Charles De Quillacq
Born in 1979 in Parthenay, France
Jean-Charles de Quillacq’s sculptural and performative practice is rooted in the representation and deconstruction of the human body. The artist enjoys moulding it, fragmenting it, and exploring its erotic capacity. He most often works with malleable resin that he models himself and sometimes mixes with his own body fluids.
Born in 1979 in Parthenay, Jean-Charles de Quillacq studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts de Lyon and at the Weißensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin. He was resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam in 2011 and one of the winners of the Swiss Art Awards in 2017. He currently lives and works between Zurich, Paris and the Limousin.
