Artist of the Collection

Jean-Marie Perdrix

Born in 1966 in Bourg-en-Bresse, France

Jean-Marie Perdrix’s sculptural practice is inseparable from the conditions of its production. Using a variety of materials, from bronze to cast iron, the artist develops a pragmatic approach that draws on the constraints of the materials as well as the working conditions of the art professionals who work with him. For him, “the work comes together with the action with all the dimensions imposed by reality”. His work is thus a repository of the social, economic, and political conditions in which he develops his pieces.

Born in 1966 in Bourg-en-Bresse, Jean-Marie Perdrix studied at the École supérieure des arts décoratifs in Strasbourg and at the Institut des hautes études en arts plastiques in Paris. He lives and works between Paris and Burkina Faso.
